"Cultural dedication revitalized: Globalcaja hosts the Medieval Music Week at Cuenca Cathedral"
The Cathedral of Cuenca is set to host two major musical initiatives of the summer, the Mirabilia Festival and the Music in the Cathedral cycle, with the support of the Globalcaja Foundation. This year, the motto for Mirabilia is "The Sounds of the Plantagenet".
The Mirabilia Festival, known for its focus on early and sacred music, often held in monuments such as cathedrals, has become a center for creation, research, and dissemination of musical reference at the national and international level. The Music in the Cathedral cycle, on the other hand, is a series of sacred music concerts held in the historic Cuenca Cathedral.
The advanced course for selected musicians, focusing on Anglo-Norman repertoires linked to Becket's figure, is a key component of the Mirabilia Festival. Over 50 musicians from different countries, mainly European, have registered for this advanced course.
The Globalcaja Foundation's involvement is essential for the sustainability of a project like Mirabilia. Their support is aimed at promoting excellence in medieval repertoire training and making it accessible to young musicians. This collaboration also extends to the open-to-the-public concerts that will be held as part of the festival.
Eliseo Quejigo, the president of the Globalcaja Foundation in Cuenca, has reaffirmed their commitment to promoting culture in Cuenca. Miguel Ángel Albares, the director of the Cathedral of Cuenca, has highlighted the "excellent support" provided by the Globalcaja Foundation.
For specific details about the 2022 schedule, performers, and registration for these events, official sources like the Globalcaja Foundation's website, the Mirabilia Festival official channels, or the Cuenca Cathedral's cultural events page would be the most authoritative references.
The fourth edition of Mirabilia is dedicated to the figure of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket. The festival runs from tomorrow until August 17. General and advanced training courses, specialized workshops, and a series of concerts will be offered during Mirabilia.
