The Ensemble Liceu XXI, focused on contemporary music, works on important pieces of avant-garde music or the music itself that is written in the classrooms of the Conservatori Liceu Foundation by the center’s composition students. This group trains students in the interpretation of contemporary repertoire, but also brings the most current and newly created music closer to the public, establishing itself as an artistic offer of great interest in the musical programming of our city dedicated to new musical languages.
On this occasion, the Ensemble Liceu XXI will present a repertoire featuring works by Benet Casablancas, one of the most renowned composers of our time, a professor at the Conservatori Liceu, and Academic Director from 2002 to 2014. The concert will be accompanied by a discussion with the composer.
Santiago Sarrate, who regularly collaborates as a professor and conductor with the Conservatori, will be in charge of conducting this concert.
Liceu XXI represents a unique opportunity to access what the composers of our time do, but also for the authors themselves, who have an open window within their reach at the Liceu XXI to show the world their creative work.
This concert is part of the Liceu Jove cycle, which is presented as a very attractive musical proposal that helps students fully prepare for their leap into the professional world while they are in their training period. It also provides a great opportunity for music lovers in the city to access repertoires of a great stylistic variety (from great lyrical works to contemporary and newly created repertoire, passing through jazz and modern music).
Liceu Jove is under the patronage of Fundació “la Caixa”.
You provide the music, we bring you to the stage!
