Tribute to Manuel de Falla 150

A musical tribute to the Spanish composer Manuel de Falla on the 150th anniversary of his birth, kindly supported by the Instituto Cervantes.

Curated by Ricardo Gosalbo, the program features vocal works by Falla himself, as well as pieces by other contemporary composers and writers who were part of his close circle of friends, collaborators, teachers, and students. These include Rafael Alberti, Claude Debussy, Federico García Lorca, Carlos Guastavino, Rodolfo Halffter, María de la O Lejárraga, Frederic Mompou, Xavier Montsalvatge, Francis Poulenc, Maurice Ravel, Joaquín Turina, and Rogelio Villar. These illustrious names gathered here demonstrate not only the great admiration and esteem that Falla enjoyed, but also the central place he occupied in the cultural landscape of his time.
