Spark. Die klassische Band

Spark · Die klassische Band is a German ensemble offering a distinctive way of understanding classical music from the present. Backed by international recognition and awarded the prestigious ECHO Klassik prize (in the “Clásica sin fronteras” category), the group has established itself as one of the undisputed reference points of the European classical avant-garde. The concert will take place on 24 October 2026 in the Sala de Cámara of the Auditorio Nacional de Música.

Spark describes itself as a formation that “reinvents the classical”: a quintet that places Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart and other great names of the tradition in dialogue with contemporary sounds and sensibility. Its proposal, which has earned the praise of critics and numerous accolades at festivals around the world, moves in an open territory between classical music, minimalism and the avant-garde, with a curious, free and unconventional stage identity.

In this concert, the award-winning ensemble invites audiences to listen to twentieth-century music from a fresh and communicative perspective, attentive to timbral richness, rhythmic impetus and the capacity of chamber music to connect with diverse audiences. In the intimate acoustic of the Sala de Cámara of the Auditorio Nacional de Música, Spark will present a proposal that combines interpretative rigour, stage energy and a contemporary outlook on the repertoire.

An occasion to discover how the classical tradition can open itself to new forms of listening, without losing artistic depth or musical demand.

Spark: an award-winning project and classical music rethought from the twentieth century and the present.
