Jornada Joan Guinjoan

A day devoted to the music of Joan Guinjoan at the Petit Palau in Barcelona, with soprano, piano, guitar, string quartet and the Ensemble Contemporani de l'ESMUC conducted by Ernest Martínez Izquierdo.

The programme brings together works by Joan Guinjoan for very different ensembles: Homenatge a Carmen Amaya, which is a tribute to Carmen Amaya, along with Màgic, Jondo, Per l'esperança, Tensión relax, Quartet núm. 1 and Tríptico i Fantasia. The day is therefore a monographic one in which the composer's work is the focus from beginning to end.

On stage take part the soprano María Hinojosa and the pianist Emili Brugalla, as well as the guitarist Àlex Garrobé. The Quartet Gerhard is made up of Lluís Castán and Joel Bardolet on violins, Miquel Jordà on viola and Jesús Miralles on cello. They are joined by the Ensemble Contemporani de l'ESMUC, conducted by Ernest Martínez Izquierdo, which completes the line-up for the day.

The Petit Palau, on the Palau de la Música street in Barcelona, is a space that mainly hosts classical music concerts, so the programme suits the venue's usual audience.
