Manuel de Falla: su mundo musical en canciones, with Joana Thomé and Juan Carlos Cornelles at Ateneo Mercantil de Valencia

What will be performed

The concert «Manuel de Falla: su mundo musical en canciones» explores the work of the Cádiz-born composer through his vocal repertoire for voice and piano. The programme goes beyond Falla’s own songs: according to the Ateneo Mercantil, it also examines his influences and the composers with whom he shared artistic affinities, placing his music in dialogue with that of other authors.

This is an event designed for those who wish to discover Falla in an intimate setting, through the chamber recital format, far from his large orchestral or stage works.

Who is performing

Mezzo-soprano Joana Thomé and pianist Juan Carlos Cornelles are the performers of this recital. The voice-piano duo is the traditional formation for the concert song genre, which is the focus of the evening.

Cycle and organisation

The recital is part of the Música en el Ateneo cycle, the regular musical programme of the Ateneo Mercantil de Valencia, coordinated by Manuel Camarasa. It takes place in Teatro Ateneo, the institution’s main hall, located in Plaza del Ayuntamiento.

Prices and tickets

The Manuel de Falla concert at the Ateneo is free admission until capacity is reached, with no need to purchase tickets.
