Obradoiro de composición RFG / RESIS.LAB IV

FRI 8 MAY (Free admission)
Auditorio de Galicia, 8:30 p.m.
The RFG / RESIS.LAB Composition Workshop is part of the strategic plan of the Royal Galician Philharmonic Orchestra to support contemporary creation and promote emerging talent. This will be its third edition, and the second in collaboration with the RESIS Festival. For one week, young composers work hand in hand with a professional orchestra, under the baton of conductor Armando Merino and guided by composer José Manuel López López.
The process begins in October with an international call for scores —last year, over 60 works were submitted!— from which 6 or 7 pieces are chosen to be developed in the workshop and performed in a public concert. For an orchestra, few things are more stimulating than discovering and working alongside new talent.

ESTIMATED DATES, CALCULATED BASED ON THE PREVIOUS EDITION.
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.
The parish of Angrois in Santiago de Compostela celebrates its traditional carnival with the so-called Xenerais da Ulla perfomance.
