Ainhoa Arteta: Concierto de Navidad

A Christmas concert with soprano Ainhoa Arteta at the Auditorio Nacional de Madrid, with a classical music programme combining works by Strauss, Saint-Saëns and Tchaikovsky.

The Christmas concert brings soprano Ainhoa Arteta together in a classical music programme divided into two parts. The first includes the Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso by Camille Saint-Saëns, with violinist Jasper Chang, and the Four Last Songs by Richard Strauss, which Arteta performs in their four movements: « Frühling », « September », « Beim Schlafengehen » and « Im Abendrot ».

The second part is devoted to the Suite from Swan Lake by Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky, in six movements that alternate scenes, a waltz, the Dance of the Little Swans, the Hungarian Dance or czárdás and a final scene. The proposal is presented as a Christmas celebration framed within the European symphonic tradition.

The concert takes place at the Auditorio Nacional de Madrid, the city's concert and performance hall. The programme brings together three composers from different traditions of the symphonic and vocal repertoire, with Arteta's voice as the centrepiece of the first part.
