Don't miss a single one
Some cultural recommendations for next week
The week that begins, with Cati Moyà
I will say To my Menorcan friends, don't miss Laura Marchal's concert in Lithica. She is an innovative and surprising artist, thanks to her ability to connect the traditional flamenco repertoire with current themes, ideas, and issues, while retaining her sweet and nuanced voice. It's also a new opportunity to enjoy one of the archipelago's most unique landscapes in all its splendor, thanks to the Fosquets de Lithica program, a program that fills the Hostal's quarries with music, theater, and culture throughout the summer. The next events in the series will be on August 21st with the Persian music of Roots Revival and on the 28th with the Orquesta de la Encuentro de Raíz. Thursday, August 14th, at 8:30 p.m.
I will enjoy Luar Na Lubre's concert in the idyllic setting of Torre de Canyamel. The Galician group's performance is part of the charity events organized by Grupo Torre de Canyamel for over twenty years, this year in the form of a music series. Once again, the proceeds will go to the Friends of Tilloli association. Friday, August 15, at 9 p.m.
I'll see again on the big screen Materialists, Celine Song's luminous second film, which premiered in Mallorca as part of the Atlántida Film Fest and is now coming to theaters, specifically at Aficine.
I will trust once again in the news of the Filmin platform. One of the latest is The Case of Ruth Ellis, a miniseries that places the viewer in 1950s London to recreate the life of the last woman to be executed in the United Kingdom.
I will discover How the Lleida-based band Selva Nua sounds live in their performance at the Llorenç Villalonga House Museum as part of the La Luna en Verso series, organized by the Mallorca Literary Foundation. This duo, made up of Joana Jové and Adrià Garcia, debuted in 2022 with the album Momentary and is currently preparing a second album, which they've already released with singles like "Por defecto" and "Serà breu." Saturday, August 16, at 9 p.m.
The week that begins, with JA Mendiola
I will listen Sir András Schiff will carefully explain each of the pieces he will perform in the second concert of the 64th Pollença Festival, at the Cloister of Sant Domingo. The virtuoso pianist never announces which works we, the lucky spectators, will be able to enjoy, but, as he says, "it's much better if the performer does so before leaving it to the author of the programs, because during the concert the audience should be listening to the music and not reading the programs." In any case, it seems that Bach will not be missing, one of his specialties and with a reading absolutely faithful to the spirit of the original. Haydn, Schubert, and Beethoven are candidates to accompany him. Tuesday, August 12, at 10 p.m.
I will go in the Patio de la Misericordia to see some of the greatest hits of the Barra Theater, with three plays: Sisyphus, written and directed by Marga Arrom and starring Cata Rosell and JM Vadell; Ilsa's Return, by Josep Mercadal, directed by Àlex Tejedor, starring Carme Serna and MA Torrens; and Boo!, written and directed by Alfonso Morillas, starring Laura Andújar and Rodo Gener. Wednesday, August 13, at 8:45 p.m.
I will recommend Go to Son Marroig, where, as part of the Deià Festival program and as part of the Euroregio Piano Series 2025 Young Masters section, Chinese pianist Yu Meng Li will perform works by Schubert and Chopin, among others. Wednesday, August 13, at 8:30 p.m.
I will walk around some of the spaces where the almost anthological exhibition that Palma dedicates to Joan Miró takes place, in the Lonja, the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation, the Solleric and Es Baluard, up to 117 pieces of different languages and periods, from engravings to sculptures, from oil paintings to works from the painter's private collection, in Motherwell,
I'll be back In Pollença, at the Claustro de Sant Domingo, to hear one of the most important and renowned string quartets on the world scene, the Casals Quartet, which arrives with a program that helps us travel through the different centuries, from Joseph Haydn, who in some way institutionalized this type of formation in the 18th century, to Dmitri Shostakovich. From the 19th century, another essential: Felix Mendelssohn. All of them share the sadness of their life stage. Thursday, August 14, at 10 p.m.
