Ciclo ACERCÁTE A LOS GRANDES COMPOSITORES / KONPOSITORE HANDIAK GERTUTIK Zikloa

La visita de Benjamin se enmarca dentro del ciclo Acércate a los grandes compositores que Musikene inició con el apoyo de la capitalidad cultural DSS2016 para acercar al público a los compositores más importantes de las últimas décadas de una forma completa, lúdica y amena. El proyecto permite al público conocer a los creadores en persona, asistir a tertulias de especialistas que disertan sobre su música y escucharla en conciertos.El ciclo comenzó con la visita del compositor alemán Helmut Lachenmann en 2016 y ha continuado con figuras de renombre internacional como Peter Eötvös, Pascal Dusapin, Kaija Saariaho y Toshio Hosokawa. Este año continuamos con la propuesta acercando a Donostia al compositor británico Jeorge Benjamin.
