Of Dances and Sonatas

↳ Micro-concert in a hórreo · Harpsichord recital · Opening · Hórreos & Paneras Competition

A journey through some of the dance forms that shaped keyboard music between the 16th and 18th centuries. From the Renaissance variations of Antonio de Cabezón and the celebrated Folías de España—one of the most influential harmonic progressions in history—to the refined English suite of Henry Purcell and the unmistakable idiom of Domenico Scarlatti, dance appears here transformed into a space for invention, virtuosity and expression. The programme culminates in the monumental Chaconne from J. S. Bach's Partita for solo violin in D minor, in Brahms's transcription—a work that raises an old Baroque dance to one of the summits of Western musical literature.

The Shape of Memory

↳ ADAR ON TOUR · Piano trio concert

The trio of María Martínez, Frederieke Saeijs and Josefina Urraca explores the ideas of remembrance and mourning from the library of the Parador de Corias, a former 11th-century Benedictine monastery. A chamber programme that brings together the Classicism of Haydn, Lili Boulanger's Nocturne, Messiaen's Louange à l'immortalité de Jésus (from the Quartet for the End of Time), Rachmaninoff's Trio élégiaque, Shostakovich's First Piano Trio and a recent work by Brittney Benton, in one of the most secluded settings in western Asturias.

Aula del Oro (Belmonte de Miranda) ✓ Held

UMBRAL ZERO

↳ Concert of minimalist music and visual art

A programme for flute and piano built on minimalism: music that tends toward zero, reducing gesture to a minimum until it brushes against silence—hence the title, "Umbral Zero" (Threshold Zero). Guillermo Laporta and Josefina Urraca link the minimalism of Max Richter with the bare simplicity of Satie and Bach, alongside a recent piece by Zygmund de Somogyi for amplified flute and electronics. The Aula del Oro in Belmonte de Miranda, a former exhibition space of the municipality, hosts an intimate chamber evening with visual projection woven into the programme.

Visuals for the programme by Guillermo Laporta; the video art for the Bach Suite is by Guillermo Ordás.

As Quintas Auditorium, A Caridá (El Franco) ✓ Held

The Rest is Silence

↳ ADAR ON TOUR · Concert of chamber music and visual art

A mosaic-programme built on the idea of solitude. Fifteen short pieces from the 20th and 21st centuries alternate with canons from Bach's Musical Offering that act as bridges between the works. Ligeti, Gubaidulina, Kurtág, Webern, Penderecki, Stravinsky, Gerhard and Cage build a sequence deliberately broken by the regularity of Bach. The Rest Project trio arrives at the As Quintas Auditorium in El Franco with a visual staging and a programme heard in a single sweep, with no applause between pieces.

⇄ New location For a better view of the eclipse, this concert moves from Leiguarda to the Alto de La Corredoria (Belmonte de Miranda). New time: 20:45; it joins the eclipse observation organised by Belmonte de Miranda Town Hall.

Micro concert during the eclipse

↳ Flute quartet

A flute quartet at the Alto de La Corredoria (Belmonte de Miranda), one of the concejo's finest viewpoints, coinciding with the total solar eclipse. Guillermo Laporta (flute), Maria Florea (violin), Lara Fernández (viola) and Daniel Claret (cello) play as dusk falls, as a complementary activity to the guided eclipse observation organised by Belmonte de Miranda Town Hall.

Monastery of Villanueva de Oscos ✓ Held

Concert of chamber music and visual art

↳ ADAR ON TOUR

Beneath the vaults of the Cistercian monastery of Villanueva de Oscos, founded in the 12th century, the ensemble brings together Devin Cholodenko's Twilight at Dawn, the second movement of Schubert's String Trio, Joan Magrané's Andante sostenuto —co-commissioned by L'Auditori de Barcelona—, Brahms's Piano Quartet in C minor Op. 60, and two movements of Dvořák's Quintet Op. 81. Classical and contemporary repertoire read within a 12th-century nave.

Equilibrium

↳ Residency showcase · The Rest Project

"Equilibrium" takes 3 as the number of balance—spirit, soul and body: three musicians and three composers in harmony. Coinciding with the centenary of György Kurtág, the trio The Rest Project shares the work developed during its artistic residency at the hórreo, an open programme still in the making. Throughout the concert, the poetry of Joan Margarit also resounds—a poet with whom the group shares a personal bond.

Church of Leiguarda (Belmonte de Miranda) ✓ Held

Sound walk in Leiguarda

↳ Site-specific creation

A sound walk that unfolds entirely inside the church of Leiguarda: the musicians spread out across different points of the nave and the audience moves among them, from one piece to the next, with video art and light design by Guillermo Laporta. Solos, a duo and a closing trio by Bach, Ysaÿe, Rameau, Germanavičius and Mendelssohn. Limited capacity.

Closing · Quintet concert and espicha

↳ Close of the 6th edition

The close of the 6th edition. The same quintet that gave the sound walk the previous day reunites in the parish church of Leiguarda for a concentrated programme that runs from Vivaldi in Bach's transcription and Mendelssohn to the first movement of Brahms's Clarinet Trio, and continues with Ravel's Ma mère l'Oye, Ligeti's Musica Ricercata, David Lang's sweet air and a traditional mazurka (Monterosano Mazurka) to close. After the concert, an open espicha (traditional Asturian cider gathering) for everyone in the church grounds. The long night that sends off the festival.
