Concerto de Cineuropa
Ben Voce, conductor
- Sing-Sing. Spanish premiere
- Film director: Greg Kwedar
- Music: Bryce Dessner (2023)
This year, Cineuropa reaches the stage of the Real Filharmonía with Sing-Sing, a film directed by Greg Kwedar and released in 2024. While Bryce Dessner is perhaps best known for his scores for The Revenant or The Two Popes, the Ohio-born musician also boasts a strong background in symphonic composition. Dessner bridges the worlds of orchestral music and indie rock as guitarist for The National, earning both Golden Globes and Grammy Awards in his dual careers. His influences blend, with surprising harmony, Brian Eno, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Steve Reich. For Sing-Sing, Dessner translates the film’s central theme—the transformative power of art as a force of resistance for an innocent man in prison—into a score that above all evokes freedom.

The “Xenerais da Ulla” is the most outstanding feature of the Ulla region’s traditional Carnival. It has been held in the surroundings of Santiago since the first half of the 19th century: the “Xenerais” (generals) ride on horseback, dressed in colourful military garments similar to those of that time, but they also include purely carnivalesque adornments, which the horses also wear.
The natural region of a Ulla features an original rural carnival, whose record goes back to the mid-19th century.
