Overview
- The world premiere took place in Santiago, with a second performance scheduled in Vigo today at 8 p.m. at Teatro Afundación under Baldur Brönnimann.
- Voro García says the title carries layered meanings that suggest a cry that is stifled, silenced or masked in physical, metaphysical and social senses.
- The score begins with an orchestral explosion and threads high sibilant tones, a low dramatic howl and hushed murmuring lines from clarinets, violas and cellos across roughly five minutes.
- The composer worked closely with the Real Filharmonía in rehearsals and praised the players’ receptiveness to his directions, emphasizing the value of direct dialogue with living composers.
- García expressed deep gratitude for the commission, noting the orchestra’s support helps contemporary music reach symphonic audiences more readily than typical chamber settings.
