Curatorial context

This chamber music event, titled 'En blanco y negro' (In Black and White), features three distinct ensembles from the Royal Conservatory of Music of Madrid. The concert program is designed to highlight contrasts in musical expression, drawing its title from Claude Debussy's composition for two pianos, which itself evokes vivid contrasts in orchestral color. The selected works by Debussy, Enrique Granados, and Manuel de Falla are presented alongside Dmitri Shostakovich's intense 'Piano Trio No. 2'. The program aims to illustrate the stylistic variations and emotional depths within classical repertoire, ranging from the luminous to the more somber. The concert includes performances by Cuarteto Nexum, performing Debussy's String Quartet in G minor, Op. 10; Dúo Mirare, presenting Granados's 'Valses poéticos' and Falla's 'Danza Española No. 1' from 'La vida breve'; and Trío Rindeu, closing the program with Shostakovich's Piano Trio No. 2 in E minor, Op. 67. The detailed program notes provide historical context for each composer and their featured pieces, enriching the audience's understanding of the musical selections and their significance.
