Plural Ensemble · Nieve sobre nieve
The renowned Plural Ensemble, conducted by Fabián Panisello, brings to the Contemporáneas series one of the most refined events of the season. Nieve sobre nieve is a proposal of virtuosity and delicacy that focuses on the work of Mercedes Zavala, a composer based in Galicia and a leading figure in contemporary creation.
The concert offers an immersion in silence, transparency and suspended time, where water and snow merge as metaphors of purity and transformation. Through the ensemble’s precision, each note becomes a particle of light that falls and dissolves into space.

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.
