ALICANTE: ‘Diferente a los demás’ with impro at the piano

….One of my favorite things to do in life is improvising with the piano on silent movies. Use them as a video-score for my creations. I have been doing it since 2003, at the Strade del Cinema festival (Italian Alps), for more than 20 years now, and I have often done it at the International Institute of Madrid, working on pieces from the United States.

….In this case, the Vice-rectorate for Equality, Inclusion and Social Responsibility together with the Film and Audiovisual Department of the University of Alicante, under the coordination of Israel Gil, created a LGTBIQ+ Film Festival to celebrate Pride this coming July. In it, I will play three nights: Thursday 4, Tuesday 16 and Tuesday 23.

….All sessions will be at 7:30 close to the sea, so what could be better to do after beach other than coming to the cinema?

….On Thursday, July 4, we’ll watch Different from the Rest, a German gem from 1919 that happens to be the first gay-themed film in the history of cinema. It has thought-provoking content that still feels modern today.c

ALICANTE: “Cantos pasados y presentes” by CoroDelantal MACA

CoroDelantal MACA presents a new show: Cantos pasados y presentes (Past and Present Chants), with great surprises.

Taking the chance of ‘All Hollows In’ night, we’ll close the show with our traditional songs and poems to our ancestors, honoring our friands and relative that left us recently.

We have a plus this time, since the theater is directed by one of our new members: actress Amparo Ausina.
Yeeeehaaaa! A hurray for CoroDelantal!

ALICANTE: CoroDelantal MACA

CoroDelantal is a vocal experimentation group founded in New York City in 2011, replied in Madrid at the end of 2012, and currently based at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Alicante (MACA) since fall 2021. Conceived and directed by composer Sonia Megías López as a laboratory for developing unusual scores, the chorus operates through collective performances that blur the boundaries between the arts.

The proposal for fall 2025 will consist of a three-month workshop with weekly meetings lasting two and a half hours each. The following collaborations are highlights of this quarter:
– With Madrid-based composer Marisa Manchado, winner of the 2024 National Music Composition Award, who will be our guest artist for the quarter.
– With New York composer John Gilbert, whose Christmas carols we will revisit in collaboration with the Banda Unión Musical de Santa Pola, adapting them to a small format to be performed at the MACA.
