Around Manuel de Falla/ Contrasts Trio

2026 marks the 150th anniversary of Manuel de Falla's birth. It's a great opportunity to introduce his work and that of other important composers from his era to the public.

In this program, in addition to the composer from Cádiz, we feature great names from perhaps the most important musical period in our history, who shared a close relationship with each other, both musically and, in many cases, through genuine friendship. We are referring, among others, to Isaac Albéniz, Enrique Granados, and Federico García Lorca himself, from whom we might hear some of the "Old Spanish Songs" that he collected and harmonized.

The Contrastes Trio consists of Marco Pastor , violin; Lara Díaz , clarinet and bass clarinet and Natalia Zapatero , piano.

Their repertoire consists of original works from the 20th and 21st centuries, reflecting a clear commitment among its members to contemporary music, and especially to Spanish music. They specialize in adapting works from the period of Spanish Nationalism (late 19th-early 20th centuries) for the trio.

Since its formation in 1998, the Contrastes Trio has performed at major Spanish and contemporary music festivals in Europe, America, and Asia to great critical and public acclaim. They are also regulars at international clarinet festivals. In addition, they develop multidisciplinary projects.

The work of the Contrastes Trio in support of contemporary music has put them in contact with a large number of composers, some of whom have written and dedicated their works especially to them, so they have a wide and growing repertoire.
