Viva España! 

 

On a summer evening why not travel to sunny Spain and see it through the eyes of a Frenchman in Massenet’s Ballet Music to Le Cid, exciting dances and gorgeous melodies that are at once delicate, exhilarating and energetic. 

 

Hear the most famous guitar concerto in the world, Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez, played impeccably by international artist, Mark Ashford, so playful and lyrical that you can almost smell the cool Mediterranean citrus groves in its haunting music.

 

Finally let CPSO’s Principal Conductor Russell Keable introduce you to the story of Manuel de Falla’s ballet , “The Three Cornered Hat”, told in Spanish dance music, revealing how the dark sound and taut rhythm of the Flamenco guitar can be brought to the symphony orchestra.
