This is a commented concert titled 'The Virgin's Passage: a sonic ascent,' performed by the ensemble Nereydas, directed by Ulises Illán. The concert offers a musical interpretation of Juan Correa de Vivar's painting 'El Tránsito de la Virgen,' translating its visual elements into sound.
The Museo Sefardí presents the commented concert 'El Tránsito de la Virgen: una ascensión sonora,' led by the ensemble Nereydas with musical direction and moderation by Ulises Illán. The performance is inspired by a simple yet powerful idea: to listen to a painting. Facing Juan Correa de Vivar's artwork 'El Tránsito de la Virgen,' the audience will not only observe but experience Nereydas illuminating the painting with sound, allowing each gesture to find its musical breath. The painting becomes a musical score, where its structure, timing, light, shadows, gazes, and silences are translated into voices, plucked strings, and guiding words, creating a sonic ascent from earth to heavenly glory. The concert features contemporary pieces to the painting, focusing on different characters and sections of the artwork. The central figure is the Virgin, depicted in her Dormition or Passage in the central part of the painting, and her Assumption in the upper composition.
Entry to the concert is free until full capacity is reached. The event is suitable for the general public. The venue capacity is 150 people. The concert takes place at the Museo Sefardí at 8:00 PM on Saturday, March 7, 2026.
