David Alegret & Maria Canyigueral
—‘Els bells camins’
Details
The dialogue between poetry and music takes shape in this contemporary lied recital featuring two prominent figures from the Catalan scene. Tenor David Alegret and pianist Maria Canyigueral propose a sonic journey through the works of poets such as Josep Carner and Salvador Espriu, in dialogue with composers like Eduard Toldrà, Antoni Ros Marbà, Salvador Brotons, Alberto García Demestres, and Joan Magrané. The evening will include three world premieres: one by Joan Magrané with poems by Ventura Ametller, another by Salvador Brotons with poems by Miquel Martí i Pol, and a third by Alberto García Demestres, featuring poems by Mireia Calafell, the guest poet of the 2025–26 season. An event that champions the vitality of Catalan art song, where music and words merge in a program of great sensitivity and expressive depth.
Concert dedicated to the memory of Assumpta Terrés, honorary member of the Orfeó Català, singer for 26 years, member of the Board of Directors, and mother of David Alegret.
