Enjoy the variety of concerts  and performances organised by the Instituto Cervantes in Manchester.

The Instituto Cervantes Manchester, the Consulate General of Spain in Manchester, and the Fundación Klassica are delighted to present Pasión de Falla, an extraordinary piano recital by <a href="https://www.joseluisnieto.com/es/" title="https://www.joseluisnieto.com/es/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">José Luis Nieto</a>, paying tribute to one of Spain’s most iconic composers: Manuel de Falla.This exclusive programme offers a unique and captivating experience—a monographic recital entirely dedicated to Falla’s music, featuring a major highlight: the premier of the complete piano transcription of the symphonic ballet El sombrero de tres picos, arranged by the pianist himself. With this performance, José Luis Nieto became the first artist to present a full piano version of this masterpiece.As Falla was primarily a symphonic composer, a 90-minute piano recital dedicated solely to his music is a rare occasion. This makes the concert even more intriguing, not only for its unprecedented nature but also for the expressive depth that the piano brings to Falla’s repertoire.This exceptional concert is a remarkable contribution to the preservation and promotion of Spain’s rich musical heritage, offering a fresh perspective on the work of one of the greatest masters of classical music.

El Instituto Cervantes de Mánchester, el Consulado General de España en Mánchester y la Fundación Klassica tienen el placer de presentar Pasión de Falla, un extraordinario concierto a cargo del pianista<a href="https://www.joseluisnieto.com/es/" title="https://www.joseluisnieto.com/es/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> José Luis Nieto</a> que rinde homenaje a uno de los compositores más emblemáticos de la música española: Manuel de Falla.La exclusividad de este programa musical lo convierte en una propuesta única y de gran atractivo. Se trata de un monográfico dedicado íntegramente a la obra de Falla, con un hito destacado: el estreno de la transcripción completa para piano del ballet sinfónico El sombrero de tres picos, elaborada por el propio pianista. Con esta interpretación, José Luis Nieto se convierte en el primer artista en presentar una versión pianística íntegra de la obra.Además, dado que Falla es, por esencia, un compositor sinfónico, no es habitual disfrutar de un recital para piano de hora y media dedicado exclusivamente a su música. En este sentido, la propuesta resulta doblemente interesante, no solo por su carácter inédito, sino también por la riqueza expresiva que ofrece la interpretación pianística de su repertorio.Sin duda, esta iniciativa supone una valiosa contribución a la recuperación, preservación y difusión del patrimonio coreográfico, lírico y musical español, acercando al público una nueva perspectiva de la obra de uno de los grandes maestros de la música universal.
