This concert is all about movement. Megan Grey, contralto, brings fire to de Falla’s El Amor Brujo, inspired by Spanish flamenco. Higdon’s Dance Card is playful and rhythmic, and Copland’s Appalachian Spring, written for dancer Martha Graham, captures the joy and spirit of the American frontier. It’s music that makes you want to tap your feet or just sit back and feel the energy

Tribute Concert for Manuel de Falla (1876-1946)

Limfjordsteatret

When the turn of the century dance scene underwent major changes, a new world of sounds, colours and rhythmic imagination opened. Under the direction of Anton Holmer, the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra takes you through a time when ballet moved from playful folk to modernist elegance. The Swedish Ballet in Paris was a force that drove development forward both scenically and musically with works such as Darius Millhaud's Le Creation du Monde (The Creation of the World), Kurt Atterberg's De fåvitska Jungfruna (the foolish virgins) and Manuel de Falla's El sombrero des tres pices (the three-tipped hat). Maurice Ravel's Une barque sur l'océan then glides forward like an impressionist dream ship in a concert that brings new life to the ballet music of the turning point.

Dvořák’s In Nature’s Realm unfolds from a hushed orchestral murmur into a glowing soundscape inspired by the forests and meadows of the composer’s Bohemian homeland — music of warmth, lyricism, and quiet wonder.

Two compelling works from contrasting worlds: With lightness, elegance and wit, infused with Spanish rhythms, Manuel de Falla’s ballet The Three-Cornered Hat tells of a young wife who fends off the advances of a provincial governor. Leoš Janáček’s rhapsody Taras Bulba, by contrast, unfolds with elemental power, portraying the fate of a Ukrainian Cossack leader who loses first his two sons and then his own life in the struggle against Polish occupiers. Sir Simon Rattle, former Chief Conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker, also leads the world premiere of a concerto written by Cathy Milliken for our cor anglais player, Dominik Wollenweber.

The program features two compositions by Antonio Giardina,  Nightscapes  and  Mandorlo in Fiore , both performed for the first time ever. Two profoundly different works in origin and imagery, but united by a highly descriptive conception of music, in which sound often arises from an image, a real or imaginary landscape, or an emotional state transformed into musical material.

Glitter and glamour, scandals and minor scandals, the avant-garde and the traditions of different nations: all this awaited the audience that flocked to the Parisian performances of the legendary Ballets Russes, arguably the best ballet company in the world, shortly after the beginning of the 20th century. The important composers, the renowned set designers, the wonderful stories created productions that sometimes still have an impact today. One of the most famous Russian ballets was Stravinsky's Petrushka , and the most exciting evening with a Spanish background was Manuel de Falla's The Three-Cornered Hat - an entertaining story about a miller and his clever wife who have to fend off the inappropriate advances of a civil servant...

This will be a great joy, as we'll be igniting four sonic fireworks. Our energy will be further fueled by two Spaniards – the conductor Roberto González-Monjas and the pianist Javier Perianes. We'll begin with a humorous role-playing exercise: Manuel de Falla's ballet "El sombrero de tres picos" ("The Three-Cornered Hat") from 1919 is set in a small Andalusian town – and for this turbulent comedy of errors, we can create witty onomatopoeia and lively dances. Equally atmospheric is his piece "Nights in Spanish Gardens," completed in 1916: enchanting impressions for piano and orchestra with which the composer wanted to "evoke places, moods, and feelings." This also resonates with Debussy, who preferred to listen to the wind for his music, "which tells us the story of this world" – and who even initially wanted to become a sailor.

A rhythm, a flute, and a melody you’ll never forget… it’s hard to say what exactly makes Ravel’s Boléro so irresistible. But this French composer had Spanish blood, and tonight’s concert is filled with the sunshine, the fragrance and the pure, intoxicating passion of Spain at its most seductive. Wild, whirling dances from Falla and Turina, delicate fairy tales from Ravel – it’s a fiesta in sound, even before Boléro strikes up that unstoppable beat.

But we couldn’t spend a night in Spain without hearing the classical guitar, and tonight the Coruña-based Spanish Galicia Symphony Orchestra is joined by dazzling young French guitarist Thibaut Garcia in that most Spanish of all guitar concertos: Rodrigo’s haunting and much-loved Concierto de Aranjuez.

Joaquín Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez is an icon in Spanish music, and surely the greatest guitar concerto ever written. It’s the centrepiece of a programme that also transports us to Andalucia with works by Joaquín Turina and Manuel de Falla.

The Spanish composer Ferrer Ferrán has dedicated his Sixth Symphony to the Mannheim Wind Philharmonic – the Dreamland Symphony. He describes his work as a sonic journey through the worlds of dream, memory, fantasy and transformation. Looking from the Iberian Peninsula toward the music city of Mannheim, he also incorporates regional musical motifs in it – thus the "Jäger aus Kurpfalz" rides through the Dreamland like a musical postcard motif. In the first part of the concert, the Mannheim Wind Philharmonic travels musically through the dreamland of Spain (Pasodoble, Suite española by Isaac Albéniz, Danza del fuego by Manuel de Falla). In the second part, the composer conducts the world premiere of his symphony.

Turia is named after the Spanish river that meets the Mediterranean near Valencia, and the solo guitar shimmers and sparkles like sun on the water. From here we move further east and join another river, the Vltava, as it wends its way through Smetana’s beautiful musical depiction of his Bohemian homeland.

Sometimes gently swaying, sometimes wildly stomping – this is how the successive waltzes in Carl Maria von Weber's "Invitation to the Dance" sound. With this piece, originally composed for piano, Weber created a depiction of the intoxicating love of dance of his time in 1819. The Spanish composer Manuel de Falla – the music world will celebrate his 150th birthday in 2026 – was so fascinated by a performance of the "Ballets Russes" in Paris that he wanted to create music for a ballet himself. Inspired by the dancer Pastore Imperio from his homeland, de Falla studied the tradition of Andalusian flamenco and the singing style of "cante jondo" and, on this basis, wrote the ballet "El amor brujo" (The Love Spell) for voice and orchestra in the winter of 1914/15, from which he transformed a year later into a symphonic suite with voice. The solo part is played by Ieva Prudnikovaite, who is currently delighting audiences as Carmen at the Lübeck Theater.
