In this recital the violin is explored and exploited as a medium that searches, lures in, seduces, attacks, jumps, cries, and sings. Featuring a world premiere by Irene Quero, commissioned by Mixtur, alongside works by David Moliner and others, the program highlights the violin as a versatile instrument capable of deep emotion and dynamic energy.
