We like music and we like painting, so if we put both together, the plan is a win win In all rules. The Thyssen knows it and that is why they have returned the Thyssen Appetizers a cycle of concerts that use painting as a common thread and that they have advanced their launch this year to spring.
They will take place from April 23 to May 14, 2022 and are part of the Alhambra Moments. They are held in the Assembly Hall of the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum, they are free (free admission until full capacity) and begin with a performance by Marina Herlop, and continue with Ferran Palau, Sandra Monfort and Simona.
The cycle is called this time “Fantasia”Y as explained from the museum, “takes inspiration from concepts such as the oneiric, the exotic, the fantastic or the miraculous”. These concepts present in the works of the collection, especially in the four that will accompany the musicians during the concert, want to be the thread together with the music to “connect these historical representations with the present moment, reflecting the surreal and fantastic character of our reality contemporary.”
