A concert that crosses the stage
On Wednesday, April 16, at 8 pm, the Basilica of the Purest Conception of Barcelona will become a space of spiritual connection through an exceptional concert. On this occasion, the Auditorium will host a selection of classic pieces by great masters such as Bach, Mozart and the exciting Stabat Mater of Pergolesi, a work that explores the emotional depth of the Virgin at the time of his son’s sacrifice.
The direction of a passionate musician
Xavier Cuevas, a well -known orchestra conductor and collaborator of the parish, will lead this performance. Cuevas, which has been recognized with the Honor Prize of the Barcelona Municipal Conservatory of Music, will contribute his experience and passion to the performance of a baroque orchestra that will use original instruments, including an 18th -century harpsichord.
Reflections on Stabat Mater
The interpretation of the Stabat Mater in the context of the Pasqual Tridu can arouse deep reflections in the community of believers. This work not only represents the pain of the Virgin, but also emphasizes the hope and promise of the resurrection, creating a contrast between the suffering and the joy that accompanies Easter.
More than music: an experience of faith
The concert will not be limited to a musical event; It will seek to create an atmosphere that foster a living experience of faith. Cuevas emphasizes the importance of interpreting these masterpieces in the context for which they were conceived, as music in the Church must be a reflection of its spiritual mission.
The legacy of Gregorian singing
The tradition of Gregorian singing, established by Pope Gregory and more than 1,400 years ago, is an example of how music can be a vehicle of faith. Although sacred music concerts are currently being organized outside the churches, the true essence of these songs endures inside the sacred walls.
The union between music and belief
For Cuevas, his experience as a believer musician is a testament to the power of music to connect with faith. Interpreting religious music in a church provides a feeling of privacy and service, and each performance is an opportunity to return to God the talents received.
A space of growth and learning
The Parish of Conception is an example of a welcoming atmosphere that allows to develop proposals such as this concert. Thanks to the dedication of Mossèn Ramon Corts, various activities have been created that strengthen the community during Easter.
A life integrated into faith
Music is not just an activity for Cuevas; It is his way of life and an extension of his faith. His dedication to the harp is not only an artistic act, but a way of expressing appreciation and service, always seeking the presence of God at all times.
Through this union between music and faith, Cuevas hopes to inspire others to find beauty in his spirituality, remembering that Christian life should not be separated from our daily experiences, but must enrich them in each aspect.
