Nonet de Martinu

Chamber music concert by the Nonet de Martinu, a nine-piece ensemble performing works by Louise Farrenc and Bohuslav Martinů at Sala 4 - Alicia de Larrocha in Barcelona.

The Nonet de Martinu is an ensemble of nine instrumentalists, with Raúl García Marián on violin. The strings are a viola, cello and double bass, played by Noemí Fúnez, Jose Mor and Albert Prat, and the winds are flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn, played by Francisco López, Rafael Muñoz, Pedro Franco, Silvia Coricelli and Juan Manuel Gómez.

The concert presents the Nonet op. 38 by Louise Farrenc, a French composer of the 19th century, and the Nonet No. 2, H. 374, by Bohuslav Martinů, a Czech composer of the 20th century. Both works are scored for nine instruments, the same line-up that gives the ensemble its name.

Sala 4 - Alicia de Larrocha, in Barcelona, hosts concerts and performances, and this evening of chamber music focused on the repertoire for nonet is programmed there.
