The current music context
Spring surrounds us, a period that symbolizes change and renewal. In this environment, musical events are accelerated, reflecting a broader transformation globally. Music, as an artistic expression, cannot be left out of these social and political dynamics.
Return of engaged artists
Recently, the return of Valeri Gergiev, a conductor who was one of the first to suffer the consequences of the geopolitical tensions that arose in the wake of the Ukrainian conflict, has been announced. As the world faces new challenges, it is likely that artists will again make their voices feel in favor of causes such as human rights and environmental sustainability.
A thousand years of musical heritage
In this issue, we dedicate a special section to the commemoration of the Millennium of Montserrat. This sacred mountain is not only a place of pilgrimage, it represents a fundamental pillar in the musical history of Catalonia. Thirty years ago, its influence was emphasized on Catalan music, an aspect that is still relevant today.
A tradition that lasts
The importance of Montserrat as a music center is undeniable, and its legacy lasts over the years. The contributions of this monastery have significantly contributed to the creation and music practice, strengthening its position as one of the most significant cultural symbols in the country.
Festivals and musical events
As usual in May, we evaluate the most prominent festivals that are approaching, both in Catalonia and abroad. One of the most anticipated events is the choral festival that is held every five years in Tallinn, Estonia, a show that leaves its mark on those who are fortunate enough to participate.
