Star guitarist Thibaut Garcia joins the Galicia Symphony to bring some gorgeous Spanish sunshine to Manchester.
Joaquín Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez is an icon in Spanish music, and surely the greatest guitar concerto ever written. It’s the centrepiece of a programme that also transports us to Andalucia with works by Joaquín Turina and Manuel de Falla. And then we’re in the company of Maurice Ravel, born to a Basque mother by the Spanish border, with two of his most enchanting pieces: the Mother Goose suite and the indelible Boléro.
The opening work, Fernando Buide’s Ruada, was written especially for this tour, and its world premiere will take place at the Manchester concert. This unique debut sets the tone for an evening of vibrant guitar and orchestral music.
