Echoes Festival 2024

​

This year we're excited to present collaborations with some new venues and partners, including our first events at London's newest classical music venue, Unit 24, in Greenwich.

​

We continue to shine a light on the musical fruits of British-Ibe/rican relations with our 'Anglo-Tango' series: Spanish Early Music group, La Guirlande, make their UK debut with us highlighting long-forgotten works originally presented in the UK 300 years ago by Spanish touring virtuosi composers.

​

Guitar continues to be very much at the heart of our activities with two programmes by Argentine guitarist, Daniela Rossi, at the Instituto Cervantes in Manchester; and in London Spanish guitarist Samuel Diz will perform music by Lorca and other composers from the 'Generation of 1927'.

​

On 18th December one of Argentina's most elegant pianists, Valentina Díaz-Frénot, returns to London with a programme inspired by the Four Elements at the church of St Mary-le-Strand. 

​

As ever, important anniversaries abound, and these are surveyed by our very own Ray Picot in his annual podcast, Journeys Through the Labyrinth. Tune in from the 7th December to hear music by Reynaldo Hahn, Trinidad Huerta, Josep Anselm Clave, Julián Aguirre, Andrés Gaos, Jaime Nunó, Eduardo Sánchez de Fuentes, Vicente Emilio Sojo, Olallo Morales, Joaquín Rodrigo, Valdo Sciammarella and Lorenzo Palomo. On 21st November the Venezuelan pianist, Clara Rodríguez also presents a concert dedicated to the anniversary of Reynaldo Hahn at the 1901 Arts Club.

​

We can't wait to see you there!
