Classical Quartet and Palpar Space

Four unique musicians, seven instruments (flute, oboe, saxophone, clarinet, English horn, double bass and piano) and a morning of musical exploration to engage with discerning listeners at crawling level, from ancient music, through the baroque and classical periods, with a spirit of improvisation and sounds of jazz.

The second concert of the Great Listeners Cycle It does not follow any expected pattern: an unusual but fascinating instrumental group and a selection of unexpected and transformed music. 

Our main goal: to bring together great musicians in the current classical, improvisation and jazz scene, making music for the first time for the ears of our great listeners: babies, children and families.

The experience continues! In collaboration with the music label HAZEN, the audience will be able to enjoy the Touch Space: a pre-post concert experience where you can see up close, hear and touch different instruments alongside our musician-guides. The Palpar Space It offers the possibility of enhancing the concert experience by surrounding ourselves with music from the moment we arrive at the Círculo de Bellas Artes and it is especially interesting for boys and girls from 2 years old and older siblings.
