Upshaw Stars in Ainadamar

The joyously eclectic music of Argentinean composer Osvaldo Golijov has
travelled the world in recent years, with audiences thrilling to its mix of tango and other Latin American rhythms, and a harmonic style which reflects his Jewish origins, all wrapped in a distinctly personal voice. Tonight’s concert offers British audiences the first opportunity to hear the most acclaimed of his recent works, an opera based around the death, at the height of the Spanish Civil War, of the great poet Federico Garcia Lorca. This moving work is performed by a conductor and cast whose acclaimed recording for Deutsche Grammophon won two Grammy Awards last year, and features the uniquely haunting voice of Dawn Upshaw.

6.15pm Pre-concert Talk
