Falla!
Perspectives Ensemble collaborates with visual artist Kevork Mourad to create an audiovisual and musical experience that transports you on a multimedia journey through Spain. The program includes two classical works by the great Spanish composer Manuel de Falla: El Amor Brujo and Master Peter’s Puppet Show.
El Amor Brujo is scored for 15 musicians and one cantaora (Romani or Gypsy singer) from Spain. Master Peter’s Puppet Show, which sets an episode from Cervante’s Don Quixote, is scored for 22 musicians and three singers.
Visual artist, Kevork Mourad, will project his work onto a screen behind the players and morph together art created in real time, synced with the live music, with animations he has created in advance.
