Spanish Music from the Time of Manuel de Falla | |
Thu 30 May 2019, 8.00pm |
(Not an ILAMS event, but one we highly recommend!) 'The renovation of Spanish music in the first half of the 20th century is unthinkable without the presence of Manuel de Falla.' Prof. Nancy Lee Harper Ray Picot presents a programme of recorded music by Manuel de Falla and his contemporaries. The early 20th century was an exciting time as a new generation of artists took Spain out of cultural isolation. New musical ideas were explored, as composers sought to reconcile the glories of their past with contemporary European musical innovations, resulting in the creation of a distinctive and vibrant music scene. This progress ended suddenly with the Civil War, and only now are we rediscovering a lot of this music which had been lost to previous generations. Ray Picot presenter TICKETS £1.50 | Limited availability; booking essential. BOOKINGS raypicot@btinternet.com MORE INFORMATION thefrms.co.uk |
