Premiere of Chamber Music Cycle by Chamber Philharmonic Rijeka.

✦ About the Program

This evening’s concert offers a vivid journey through the musical landscapes of Spain, showcasing iconic works by Manuel de Falla, Isaac Albéniz, and Enrique Granados. Carefully arranged by Pedro Rosenthal Campuzano for an original sextet of flute, oboe, clarinet, violin, cello, and piano, the program presents faithful and idiomatic reimaginings of some of Spain’s most beloved compositions.

These works are rooted in the Spanish nationalist movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries — a period when composers sought to reflect the soul of Spain through regional dances, folk melodies, and richly evocative atmospheres. The pieces selected tonight explore that diversity through sound: from Andalusian flamenco and gypsy mysticism to impressionistic gardens and vigorous jota rhythms.
