Claudia Besné | Fundación Juan March
Para las salas de concierto actuales, en las que los recitales de arpa son infrecuentes, el mundo de la composición actual para el instrumento resulta un territorio inexplorado de posibilidades desconocidas. Las inspiraciones y la panoplia de colores y texturas que la donostiarra Claudia Besné hilvana en este personal proyecto, con el escenario de la March como altavoz, traen a la palestra este universo sonoro en plena ebullición, con una presencia destacada de compositoras especialmente vinculadas con el arpa.

This is so disheartening.
It seems that the arts, public education and even healthcare are getting defunded everywhere nowadays.
Instead, we prioritize ways to make everyones lives absolutely miserable and unbearable. A world turned completely up-side-down.
