Ras i curt
Què ens hi trobarem?
Un any més, i en van quatre, la refinada i elegant soprano Julia Kleiter aprofundeix en el repertori i ens proposa un programa que combina obres ben conegudes amb d'altres poc habituals; la primera part estarà dedicada a Brahms i Schubert, mentre que la segona se centra en la cançó del segle XX.
L'obra destacada
L'amistat entre Benjamin Britten i el poeta W. H. Auden va ser l'origen de diverses obres musicals, la primera de les quals va ser el cicle On this island, una obra variada amb música inspirada tant en el Barroc com en la música de ball dels anys 30, contemporània del cicle.
