The Instituto Cervantes in Manchester, in collaboration with the Consulate of Spain in the United Kingdom, presents Spain Inside a Piano. A Musical Journey through Spain between the 17th to 21st Centuries an original concert by the renowned Spanish pianist, composer, music critic and writer Luis Agius.Premiered at the Casa Granada in Madrid in July 2018, this programme includes fundamental and highly significant pieces by composers from Spain, or with strong connections to Spain, alongside music by composer-pianist Luis Agius. The geographical-musical route that Agius presents covers the entire Spanish territory, from Cádiz to Finisterre, passing by Córdoba, Jaén, Granada, Barcelona, Toledo, Aranjuez, Madrid, Valencia and Mallorca.Luis Agius' music -as the pianist himself affirms- "is melodic and impressionistic, and easily connects with an audience that always enjoys it". Both in his compositions and in the range of selected pieces, the music that makes up Spain Inside a Piano “flee from clichés and the hackneyed, in search of rigour, musical sense and exceptional sensitivity, and tries to offer a comprehensive worldview of Spain, from its landscapes to its culture and its art, which has been and still is a source of inspiration for national artists, and also for others from all over the world who found no impediment for their cultural baggage to intertwine with the insights they found in Spanish lands".
