What’s being performed
The concert features «Hommage à Paul Klee» (1951), a work by Hungarian composer Sándor Veress (1907-1992). Written for chamber orchestra, the piece pays homage to Swiss painter Paul Klee through a musical structure that evokes his pictorial style: fragmentation, sonic colours, and rhythmic play. A student of Béla Bartók, Veress composed this piece during his time in Switzerland, where he explored the relationship between music and visual arts. The score, lasting around 18 minutes, blends wind, string, and piano instruments in a neoclassical language with touches of Central European folklore.
Who’s performing
The performance is by Solistas de la Orquesta de València, a stable ensemble of musicians from the Orquesta de València. They are joined by:
- Gil Garburg and Sivan Silver, an Israeli piano duo renowned for their versatility in classical and contemporary repertoire.
- Ángel Fígols, a Valencian actor who participates in the narration or recitation of texts linked to the work (as per the Palau’s programme). The musical direction is by Jaume Santonja, principal conductor of the Banda Sinfónica Municipal de València and a regular collaborator with chamber ensembles.
