Music constitutes a fundamental aspect of human existence and self-identity, mirroring the cultural traditions and customs of diverse nations. The universal language of music transcends nationality and linguistic boundaries, uniquely capable of reaching deep into the soul, heart, and mind of individuals, evoking a spectrum of feelings and emotions.
The programme features works by J.Haydn, L.Bernstein, J.Urbiola, C.Gonçalves, G.M.Rodríguez and R.Firpo, L.Miguel, B.Howard, as well as Spanish flamenco, Turkish folk songs, music from films and others.
