Abstract
The Contemporary Festival welcomes Vertixe Sonora again, this time under the direction of the Argentine maestro Mariano Chiacchiarini and with a program full of absolute premieres, by authors from the Canary Islands, Galicia and different African countries. It will be on Wednesday, October 11, at 8 p.m., at the Guiniguada Theater.
This concert will be a prelude to the centenary of World Music Days in South Africa, programmed in collaboration with the International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM).
In the first part of the concert, Chiacchiarini will lead a talk with the composers. Vertixe is made up of sound and plastic artists, jazz musicians, classical performers and people from theater and dance with a common desire to develop proposals with a global artistic perspective and that find their reason for being in artistic excellence and a strong commitment to the music and the creators of our time.
