Concert inaugural a càrrec de l'Orquestra Simfònica de l’ESMUC

Opening concert of the Mixtur 2026 Festival by the Orquestra Simfònica de l'ESMUC, featuring twentieth-century works and contemporary creation, the premiere of a piece by Joan Magrané and a piano concerto by Beat Furrer with pianist Ana Ostojić as soloist.

The evening opens the Mixtur 2026 Festival and brings together two anniversaries: the fifteenth year of the festival and the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya. The Orquestra Simfònica de l'ESMUC is conducted by Ernest Martínez Izquierdo, with a programme that combines twentieth-century repertoire and music of our time.

The programme includes Igor Stravinsky's Symphony in Three Movements, the first major work the composer wrote during his exile in the United States. It is followed by Beat Furrer's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra, by a leading figure in contemporary European composition and a regular presence at the festival, with Ana Ostojić as soloist.

The session closes with the premiere of Obertura, a new work by Joan Magrané, a Catalan composer who graduated from the ESMUC and has an international profile. The concert takes place in Sala 1 Pau Casals at L'Auditori.
