The Chamber Music Season starts on 10 October with an outstanding ‎programme performed by the Orquestra da Camera, an ensemble that ‎pays tribute to the Associació Música da Camera, a chamber music association founded by ‎Pau Casals in 1913. The Orquestra comprises members from some of the main ‎chamber groups in Spain, such as the Cuarteto Quiroga, which just ‎received the 2018 National Music Prize; the Casals, Dalia, Elias and Cosmos quartets; the Trio ‎VibrArt, as well as members from the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and the ‎Deutsche Symphonie-Orchester. The Orquestra da Camera will be ‎‎conducted by violinist Antje Weithaas. ‎


‎An ambitious programme with Russian, German and English music ‎

The highlight of the repertoire chosen by the Orquestra da Camera is one of the most iconic ‎works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Serenade for Strings in C ‎major, a true milestone of the repertoire for orchestra. The concert will ‎continue with one of the emblematic works by Richard Strauss, ‎‎Metamorphosen, study for 23 solo strings, written at the end ‎of the Second World War. Finally, we will hear Variations on a Theme of Frank ‎Bridge, written by Benjamin Britten as a tribute to his teacher. ‎

Chamber Music Season will continue on 21 October with the first concert from ‎‎Schubert Lied, a series that will give audiences a chance to discover a large ‎part of the composer’s work with the voices of young Spanish and international talents. The ‎first concert will feature mezzosoprano Marie Seidler and pianist Joseph ‎Middleton as a substitute for Malcolm Martineau, who is unable to take part in the ‎programme for reasons unrelated to L’Auditori.‎
