Talk: 150th Anniversary of Manuel De Falla and Book Launch
Wednesday 1st April 6pm
The life of Spanish composer Manuel de Falla was as compelling as his music. From his birthplace in Cádiz to his years in Madrid, Paris, Granada, and Córdoba (Argentina), his journey was shaped by both creativity and sorrow. Renowned musician, researcher, and writer Antonio Hernández uncovers new insights into the life and legacy of this iconic figure in this fascinating talk.
Writer Antonio Hernández will also be launching his new book Breezes of Spain.
