Quadres fantàstics
Quadres fantàstics is a program dedicated to songs for voice and piano with a supernatural theme. By the hand of composers such as F. Schubert, F. Mendelssohn, F. Liszt, K. Weill or L. Bernstein, each work invites the audience to enter the world of legends, magic, and dreams: a journey through misty landscapes inhabited by monstrous and wonderful beings, but also through the dreams and nightmares that the imagination produces. Because fantasy and mystery are not only found in the forest, but also within us.
The program has been successfully performed in different locations, such as Barcelona, Valencia and Sant Cugat. The duo formed by Maria Bañeras Carrió (soprano) and Esther Vilar Portillo (pianist) was formed in 2018. They have had the opportunity to participate together in master classes by Wolfram Rieger at the International Course for the Interpretation of Lied (2021) and by Felicity Lott at the LIFE Victoria Barcelona Festival (2024). Besides Quadres fantàstics, their collaboration in Melodies entrellaçades and the upcoming premiere of three songs by the Catalan composer Jordi Parramon also stand out, among other projects.
“Los monstruos nunca mueren.
Viajan dentro de ti, regresan siempre.”
