Spanish conductor Jaime Martín – Chief Conductor of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra – guides the accomplished musicians of the Sydney Symphony in these vivid evocations of his homeland, and a celebration of Ravel’s 150th birthday. 

These pieces are postcards from Spain. Ravel’s mother was from the Basque region straddling the Spanish-French border, with its proud local culture and language, and Bolero and Alborada del gracioso are full of the passion and unique rhythms of Spanish dance music.  

Falla’s Nights in the Gardens of Spain draws on the Arabic roots of Spanish music and is richly atmospheric and immersive, referencing gardens from Córdoba to the Alhambra palace in Granada. Eva Gevorgyan, ‘a young and exceptionally talented pianist’ (Interlude), brings life to these vivid musical pictures.   

If you’re longing for somewhere warm and lively, this concert is your ticket.
