The Festival Ravel in San Juan de Luz has opened its latest edition, this year dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the renowned Spanish composer Manuel de Falla. The festival promises a rich program that explores Spanish culture through a distinct French lens.
Central to the festival are four concerts designed to present various facets of Spain as viewed from across the border. These performances aim to offer a unique interpretation of Spanish art and heritage, curated by French artists and ensembles.
The culmination of this artistic exploration will be a deeply moving tribute to the celebrated Spanish poet Federico García Lorca. George Crumb's powerful homage to Lorca, who was tragically assassinated 90 years ago, will serve as the festival's concluding performance. This concert is expected to be a profound reflection on Lorca's legacy and the enduring impact of his work.
The festival also features performances by Barbara Hannigan and Bertrand Chamayou, who will be interpreting works that evoke the spirit of Lorca's poetry and Falla's musical genius.
