Good friends who get together to make the music they like. They, the pianist Gabriela Guala, the flutist Silvina Cárdenas and the soprano Laura Romero, who in addition to being good friends, are excellent musicians, together, gave shape to the De a Tres project that this Friday will offer a concert of Argentine and French chamber music and German which they called “Shadows and Stars.” It will be at 9 p.m., in Room II of the Roca House of Culture.
The show includes duets and trios of Argentine chamber music and French and German Romanticism and post-Romanticism for voice, flute and piano. The program’s proposal is varied in languages, musical and poetic languages that are united by a common theme: the time of sunset. The music that makes up “Sombras y Luceros” evokes the evening twilight, that moment in which nature shows itself to us with a special charm, a little magical and mysterious.
Made up of works by Clara and Robert Schumann, Maurice Ravel, Andre Caplet and Ángel Lasala, among other composers, the song texts evoke fantastic characters, furtive loves, nostalgia for times past or contemplation of the landscape. And all the music invites listeners to unite with those emotions and let themselves be carried away by the enchantment produced by the first night shadows and the first stars. In addition, Gabriela Guala will perform a piece by Erik Satie on solo piano. Tickets, $2,500 at the door and $2,100 in advance and members, are available at the Casa de la Cultura box office.
“We musicians usually choose music that we like and I think that is a good starting point. We choose a repertoire because of the love we feel for these musical pieces.
Gabriela Guala, pianist of De a Tres
“We always had a musical affinity and a moment came when the three of us might meet,” explains Gabriela Guala. “This show arises from the need to make music, but, particularly, to make this music together,” highlights the pianist.
The repertoire answers, according to what he says, two questions. One of them has to do with the proposed format of piano, flute and singing, because it is not always found. The other question is more personal. “We musicians usually choose music that we like and I think that is a good starting point. We choose a repertoire because of the love we feel for these musical pieces. And we believe that they are not made in Roca.”
The concert, which lasts approximately an hour and a quarter, consists of original pieces, not adaptations, and will be accompanied by short explanatory texts regarding each work that will be performed. A poetic evocation, Gabriela notes, that puts each work in context.
For her, the fact that it takes place in Room II of the Casa de la Cultura will also be very special, for the room itself, but, above all, for the grand piano that has lived in that emblematic room of the city for decades. . “The living room has that wonderful piano,” she points out.
That wonderful piano is a Baldwin that has been there since the time when the Casa de la Cultura housed the INSA, today IUPA. Guala, like so many other students who passed through there, trained with that Baldwin, who was used for student auditions. “It is an extraordinary piano with a wonderful mechanism, it has a warmth in its touch and sound that I love,” Guala describes it. This Friday, her hands will touch him once more in a circumstance as special as making music that she likes with friends who like that music as much as she does. And yes, it is a good starting point.
De a Tres, this Friday, at 9 p.m., at Casa de la Cultura. Advance tickets and members $2,100, at the door $2,500.
