VISITACION[e]S is a large-scale song cycle for soprano and orchestra commissioned by the Orquesta y Coro Nacionales de España and premiered at Madrid’s Auditorio Nacional in November 2025 under David Afkham, with Jone Martínez as soloist. Built around the dream-visit of the absent beloved, the work draws together poetic voices from Li Bai, Omar Khayyam, Al-Rusafi, Guilhem de Peitieu and Joan Margarit in a single intertextual arc on memory, loss and presence. The premiere received a particularly strong critical response, with reviewers praising its refined orchestration, poetic depth and expressive restraint.
Myths for orchestra is a triptych exploring mythological imaginaries in which water appears as a liminal space between life and death. Conceived as a sequence of symbolic landscapes, the cycle treats rivers, wells and waterfalls as thresholds where memory, identity and temporality are suspended, transformed or renewed. It contains three orchestral works, The Styx, (premiered by the Orquestra de València and Baldur Brönnimann at Festival ENSEMS, 2024); Wells of Oblivion, (premiered by the Sinfónica de Tenerife and Ariane Matiakh in April, 2026); and Havasu Falls (commissioned by the Orquesta de Extremadura), which will close the cycle opening its perspective from boundary and oblivion towards continuity, ancestry and living landscape.
