As the year draws to a close, music lovers in Nicosia have a remarkable cultural treat to look forward to. The Pharos Arts Foundation is hosting another captivating concert in the cozy and historic Shoe Factory venue. Mark your calendars for December 4, as the celebrated La Spagna Ensemble makes its Cyprus debut in a performance co-organized with the Embassy of Spain.
Introducing La Spagna Ensemble
Founded in 2009 by the talented Alejandro Marías, La Spagna Ensemble is a name synonymous with excellence in historically informed music. Drawing inspiration from one of the most iconic melodies of the Renaissance, the ensemble unites some of the finest musicians of our time. Known for their authentic, passionate, and heartfelt interpretations, La Spagna has graced prestigious venues and festivals across Spain and internationally, earning acclaim for their performances and recordings.
Their unique discography shines a light on overlooked compositions from the past, bringing forgotten gems back to life for contemporary audiences. This commitment to exploring and reviving historic music has earned them a distinguished place in the classical music world.
A Cyprus Debut with Spanish Spirit
As part of their ongoing European tour and an innovative collaboration with contemporary composers, La Spagna is set to dazzle Nicosia’s audience with a program steeped in Spanish spirit. Their repertoire for this concert includes an exquisite selection of Renaissance and Baroque pieces, each imbued with the allure, vivid imagery, and unique essence of Spain.
While the ensemble’s musical focus spans from the Renaissance to the early Romantic period, they occasionally venture into 21st-century compositions. However, their heart remains firmly rooted in the Baroque era, where they excel in bringing out the nuanced beauty of the period’s music. Every performance by La Spagna is guided by a singular mission: to deliver interpretations that are authentic, emotive, and respectful of the historical and cultural contexts of the pieces they perform.
