21 March 2024 Donostia-San Sebastián (Spain)
Venegas / Prokofiev
Orquesta Sinfónica de Euskadi by ACC (Basque National Orchestra) conducted by Pablo González - Kursaal
Program Info: Orquesta Sinfónica de Euskadi by ACC (Basque National Orchestra) Pablo González, conductor Olesya Petrova Orfeón Donostiarra Choir
Contemporary music is what can best speak to us about the problems of the present, and in her work At the Aegean Shores, the Basque-Belgian composer Saskia Venegas denounces the humanitarian drama taking place in the waters of the Mediterranean. The sea is also a dispenser of tragedy in Benjamin Britten's opera Peter Grimes, from where the beautiful and disturbing Four Sea Interludes that separate the different acts come from. Pablo González, chief conductor of the RTVE Symphony Orchestra, will top off the programme with an imposing work which will be joined by the Orfeón Donostiarra and mezzo-soprano Olesya Petrova: Sergey Prokofiev's cantata Alexander Nevsky, a stage adaptation of the soundtrack that the Ukrainian created for Sergey Eisenstein's film of the same name about Alexander Nevsky, Prince of Novgorod, who rejected the invasion of Swedes and Teutons in the 13th century.
