Program notes:
[…] "The concert includes the premiere of Suite of Myself, by Raquel García-Tomás, a work that was conceived during the months of strict lockdown. It draws on different fragments of Bach's music as a starting point (specifically from the St John Passion, from the Invention BWV 797 and the sarabande from the French Suite no. 2) to approach the bright, solemn and liberating universe of Song of Myself, by Walt Whitman"

"The Carmen Cloister will host the first joint performance of Raquel García-Tomas’ three works of baroque inspiration.
The nationally and internationally celebrated composer who won the National Music Award in 2020 presents a programme that will take us on a journey through the works of Bach and Monteverdi as they dialogue with her own compositions: My Old Gramophone #2 (2019) and […]così mostraste a lei i vivi ardori miei[…] (2015 - Rev. 2018).
We will bring the evening to a close with the premiere of the revised version of Suite of Myself, commissioned by the Festival. In this case, we will discover it anew as interpreted by a chamber ensemble (vocal quartet, string quartet and piano), providing it with a more intimate and nuanced tone. "Suite of Myself" recently premiered in Barcelona’s L’Auditori to much acclaim from the audience and critics alike.
Considered to be one of the finest creators of our times, García-Tomás invites us to “unwind with the stars under a night sky”, a quote from a Monteverdi madrigal after which this concert is named."

5 & 6 July 2016 – Barcelona (GREC FESTIVAL)
15 September to 16 October 2016 – Berlin (Neuköllner Oper)
Six young men and women - individualists, entrepreneurs, specialists and researchers - share an office. They are worried about their future. What options will be open to them, faced with new frontiers between nations, regions and societies, while other barriers have been overthrown without control due to the internet, networks and markets? What freedoms do individuals still enjoy? What has happened to the personal “I”? In this office everyone makes discoveries, invents dreams and examines depths in an amusing and poetic work with forays into philosophy and all too human weaknesses.
This will be an evening of musical theatre reflecting Rebstock’s very personal and unique style of direction: tender, theatrical, humorous. Beethoven’s music (“Fidelio” and other pieces) provides the basis for the piece, with arrangements and new compositions and video-creation by Raquel Garcia-Tomás. The authors are award-winning Tilman Rammstedt and the well-known author and director Marc Rosich.

"glitched acquitistions is a journey across a particular universe in which sound and image are explored through glitch art. Composer Raquel García-Tomás and clarinettist Víctor de la Rosa have created a multidisciplinary project in which the main feature is an improvised musical performance alongside a video, set within a larger structure where performers interact with the visual cues."
