Orquesta Sinfónica de Navarra: "150th Anniversary of the birth of composer Valentín Larrea (1876-1970)"

What's it about

On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Valentín Larrea Iturbe (Gabiria, 1876 – Pamplona, 1970), the Orquesta Sinfónica de Navarra offers at Baluarte a tribute concert to Valentín Larrea, dedicated to rediscovering the figure and work of this composer. It will feature Yorrick Troman as concertmaster-conductor and musical mediation and commentary by María Setuain Belzunegui. The activity is part of the program of activities of the Otoño Archimusical 2026 cycle, organized by the Archive of Music and Performing Arts of Navarra (AMAEN). The proposal presents a musical journey that will allow the audience to progressively approach Valentín Larrea's career, first in the historical and musical context of his time, then as a prominent figure in Pamplona's musical life, and finally as a composer with a voice of his own, in which academic tradition and inspiration from Basque musical heritage converge. More than a concert, the event invites listeners to hear and understand Valentín Larrea's music from a historical perspective, contributing to the recovery of his legacy and to situating his work within Navarra's musical heritage. PROGRAM First part: How a career begins • Minuetto in D • Andante in C major • Andante in C Second part: How an essential figure is forged • Rêverie • Adagio for string instruments • Religious meditation for string instruments Third part: The voice of a composer and the recovery of his legacy • Basque Prelude No. 3 for string instruments
