Auckland Philharmonia have announced the lineup for their new season in 2025 and it’s an exciting mix of artists and composers, packed full of familiar favourites and new voices to explore.
Spanish Rhythms, conducted by Pablo Gonzalez and performed by South Korean Guitarist JIJI, features the works of Turina (Danzas fantásticas), Rodrigo (Concierto de Aranjuez) and Falla (La vida breve: Interlude & Dance & The Three-Cornered Hat: Suites Nos.1 and 2).
A Spanish adventure from start to finish, let the music take you away, from Turina’s evocation of the sun and the limitless blue sky to Rodrigo’s ravishing slow movement, be swept away by the enchanting rhythm and JIJI’s musical expertise.
Then fall under the spell of Falla’s opera, La Vida Breve, as it tells of the life and love of a gypsy girl. In his ballet of village life, the miller’s wife is pursued by the oafish magistrate whose official headgear gives the piece its title. When she outwits him, everybody dances an exuberant jota, castanets blazing.
