Spanish Songs

WITH Zanne Stapelberg (soprano) and James Grace (guitar)

This intimate Spanish classical music production brings together two master interpreters whose musical partnership spans over two decades of sold-out performances. Renowned for their extraordinary chemistry, they are storytellers through music, drawing audiences into deeply moving and transformative experiences. Their third Spanish music production together, explores breathtaking repertoire from South America and Spain. Song cycles by Manuel de Falla and Enrique Granados are featured, as well as works by Astor Piazzola. For the first time, they also present European classical works, including pieces by John Dowland, exquisitely translated into Spanish, reimagining familiar melodies. The performance is a journey – a dialogue between past and present, Europe and the Iberian world, poetry and sound. With passion and sensitivity, moments are created that linger long after the final note.

MET Zanne Stapelberg (sopraan) en James Grace (kitaar)

Hierdie intieme produksie met Spaanse klassieke musiek bring twee meesters in vertolking byeen, wat musikale samewerkings van meer as twee dekades se uitverkoopte optredes deel. Bekend vir hul buitengewone wisselwerking, vertel hulle stories deur musiek, wat gehore meevoer. Dit is hul derde gesamentlike Spaanse musiekproduksie, wat die asemrowende repertoire van Suid-Amerika en Spanje verken. Sangsiklusse van Manuel de Falla en Enrique Granados word gehoor, asook werke van Astor Piazzolla. Europese klassieke werke word ook vir die eerste keer ingesluit, waaronder komposisies deur John Dowland, voortreflik in Spaans vertaal met bekende melodieë wat herverbeel word. Die optrede is ’n reis – ’n dialoog tussen die verlede en die hede, tussen Europa en die Iberiese wêreld, tussen poësie en klank. Hulle skep met passie en sensitiwiteit oomblikke wat lank ná die laaste noot nog by die gehoor vertoef.
