"If these songs have reached today, it is because they are bangers", declared Marc Heredia, composer and pianist of the Trio Fortuny. Agreed, they are bangers. But what the chamber trio has done with the voice of Judit Neddermann is the eighth wonder: they have recovered the songs that move us the most in the world, the traditional songs that our mother or grandmother sang to us when we were little –the stories of The heir Riera and of The spinner, the Gifted mountains and The sailor, compositions that have been gleaned from the Càntut archive, and have reinterpreted them through chamber music, with new arrangements and recompositions. The result is Edge, a jewel that next year will take the form of an album, but which is already a beautiful and exciting show, delicate and at the same time powerful, premiered Saturday evening at the Kursaal, in one of the climaxes of the Fira Mediterrània de Manresa, which has supported them as co-producers from its Obrador d’Arrel.

The 28th edition of the Manresa Mediterranean Fair, which began on Thursday and will end on Sunday, offers an artistic program that includes 135 performances and 79 shows, of which 58 (73%) are premieres. This year's theme, The heartbeat of creativity, highlights the work of promoting and supporting creation.
