Guitar and Strings. Spain and Bohemia 2017

Guitar and Strings. Spain and Bohemia 2017

This artistic project run by the Ensemble Opera Diversa of Brno (Czech Republic) will be implemented in three main stages during the spring of 2017. Entitled “Guitar and Strings. Spain and Bohemia”, it sets out to bring Spanish culture and art face-to-face with that of the Czech Republic through contemporary guitar.

The programme begins with a concert at 7 pm on Wednesday 6 April at the Mozart Hall of the Reduta Theatre in Brno, as part of the EOD’s season of concerts in collaboration with the National Theatre of Brno.

The second phase involves making a sound recording of the work of Jan Novák with the same musicians to subsequently edit it and release a new CD devoted to this unknown but fascinating twentieth-century composer of Moravia.

The third and last phase of the project is due to be completed in May-June 2017 with the performance of the concert programme in Valencia as part of the 39th International Contemporary Music Festival Ensems 2017.

The musical director is orchestra conductor Robert Ferrer Llueca, who currently resides in the country and is a renowned performer of modern music. Tomás Marco Aragón is one of the most prominent composers on the Spanish music scene, whose Water Concert for guitar and string instruments is essential to the conception of the project. And finally, the versatility and impeccable technique and musicality of the solo guitarist Ruben Parejo ensure the success and artistic excellence of this musical project.
