Vertixe sonora · Sementeira para cinco músicos
The Galician ensemble Vertixe Sonora, an international benchmark in contemporary music, presents one of the most experimental events of the Contemporáneas 2025-2026 series.
The concert features four world premieres by Violeta Cruz, Sky Macklay, Tianyu Zou and Po Chien Liu — composers from three continents who explore sound as living matter.
The collective piece Sementeira, written for five musicians, emerges as a laboratory of ideas — a space where gesture, silence and time are transformed into a sonic current. A proposal that invites us to listen to water not as an image, but as a compositional principle: that which flows, erodes and is reborn.

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.
