18th OFM Chamber Music Series

Sep 17, 2024 —— Jul 8, 2025

In one of his essays on the subject, Ramón Andrés wrote that musical art, in keeping with the Greco-Latin tradition, rescues from oblivion human beings’ expressive need, elevated to a sacred element, and turns its survival into a constant devotional gaze of eternity within the vast sea of cultures shaped over the millennia throughout the length and breadth of our planet. In this connection, this eighteenth edition of one of the longest-running music series of all those currently organised by the Philharmonic Orchestra of Malaga (OFM) spans an interesting array of styles in the characteristic intimate setting of the Christine Ruiz-Picasso auditorium at the Museo Picasso in Malaga. A combination of historical music with a distinct reference to Spanish tradition and jazz from all times, the voice as the protagonist and instrumental music, with a special nod to women creators, it features an interesting set of events based around the packed programme published below. Pure musical enjoyment in your memory.
