Classical music audiences recently experienced a powerful weekend in Spain as conductor Kent Nagano led the Orquesta y Coro Nacionales de España (OCNE) in reviving Manuel de Falla’s monumental scenic cantata, Atlàntida. Nagano's interpretation brought fresh life to Falla's ambitious vision of a unified Spain, drawing widespread attention from music critics across Madrid.

In the same musical landscape, the renowned ensemble Vox Luminis offered a poignant tribute to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Their performance served as a solemn memorial dedicated to the victims of Urda, pairing Mozart's delicate phrasing with deep emotional resonance for those lost.
