Other 25/26 projects will be based around the music of Britten and Turina


Adoptar un Músico is a collaborative music-creation project in which pupils, teachers and musicians from the OCNE work together to create a new piece of music, drawing inspiration from works in the orchestra’s current season repertoire.

ABOUT ADOPTAR 3.0

This is an online project in which participating pupils develop their musical ideas using multimedia tools, online score editors, or simply by recording audio of their group playing their instruments.

It is a collaborative process between pupils, teachers and OCNE musicians which culminates either in a recording of the pieces by the musicians or in a live concert. Throughout the process, participants communicate with the musicians via video calls, emails and videos, in a creative exchange that flows back and forth.

It is an opportunity for pupils and teachers to share a creative process and to get to know the OCNE musicians more closely.

It is for everyone: designed for primary, secondary and special education groups.


Season 25/26

REVISITATION[e]S

VISITACION[e]S is a song cycle for soprano and orchestra by the composer Òscar Colomina. Visitaciones (or visitacions in Catalan) is a term referring to the experience of receiving, in dreams, the visit of a loved one who has passed away. This idea, present across many cultures, is expressed through a selection of texts ranging from Tang dynasty China to medieval Persia and Al-Andalus, alongside the voices of the earliest troubadours and the poetry of Joan Margarit.

In REVISITATION[e]S, Colomina’s poetry and music will be the starting point for a project exploring how different cultures and eras converse with the same sensitivity towards absence, time and memory. Drawing on Colomina’s texts and musical ideas, each group will create its own “visitation” for instrumental ensemble and voice. This is a unique opportunity to bring contemporary creation into the classroom and to foster creativity through a fascinating journey that will also feature the direct involvement of the composer himself.
