The music of Gabriela Ortiz (Mexico City, 1964) beats to the rhythm of tradition and the avant-garde. It unites European classical training with the combined legacy of European and American music that has flowed through Mexico since the 16th century. And, daring by nature, she openly engages with different formats. A few weeks ago, she debuted as a guest composer at the Palau de la Música when the GIO Symphonia and Frames Percussion performed. Neon AltarThe cycle continues this Friday with the concert of the Cosmos Quartet and the flautist Alejandro Escuer, who will perform Exiles. Later on, various works by Gabriela Ortiz will be part of programs as diverse as those of the Attaca Quartet, Frames Percussion, pianist Noelia Rodiles, the Vallés Symphony Orchestra with trumpeter Pacho Flores, and violinist María Dueñas and pianist Aleksandr Malofeev. In addition, on March 21, the Cor de Cambra will premiere Bird Woman, a special commission from the Palacio de la Música in which Ortiz is inspired by Woman, bird and comet by Joan Miró.
