The eighth edition of the Málaga Clásica festival looks to the future of music with premiers of work of world class living composers, who will share the programme with masterpieces from different periods that were a a source of inspiration for these new compositions. With these unique concerts, conferences and conversations with musicians, the public will have the chance to partake of this creative musical process. In addition, the festival continues to support young musicians with its “Talents” series and with master classes conducted by the artists during the festival. Once again, the international violinists and festival directors Anna Nilsen and Jesús Reina have prepared a unique programme based on an original theme.
The closing concert of Málaga Clásica unites the characteristics that define the theme of the festival’s eighth edition: “now”. In this walk through the musical landscape one can find early untypical works by Shostakovich, full of melody and simplicity, like his pieces for two violins and piano. One also encounters in the octet, a self-labelled modern Shostakovich, with his feet planted in the present but looking to the future. In between these two works we will hear a completely different aesthetic in Handel’s music: a master of the Baroque, outstanding in his usage of homophony, opera seria and oratorio. These styles and their variety, together with traditional music, present in Piazzolla - and whose “seasons” serve as a reinterpretation of the seasons themselves (after Vivaldi’s classic) - are inspirations which lay in Jesus Reina’s music, who intertwines the harmonic structures of the Baroque period with modern counterpunctal lines and traditional rhythms, adding to the chamber ensemble an instrument of great tradition in Andalucia and the rest of Spain, the cornet.
