On Thursday, the 11th of November, Dúo Cassadó plays a cello and piano concert in the Chamber Hall at 7:30 p.m. The concert is titled 'Luces y sombras' (Lights and shadows) and includes works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Zoltan Kodály, Ernest Bloch and Arvo Pärt. Tickets are on sale.

The members of Dúo Cassadó are Damian Martínez Marco, cellist, and Marta Moll de Alba, pianist. The tandem offers programmes of great sensitivity that stand out for being original and charismatic. The concert ‘Luces y sombras’ starts with the ‘Cello Suite No.3 in C major’, BWV 1009, by Bach; it will continue with the ‘Adagio for cello and piano’, by Kodály. Next, they will play ‘From Jewish Life’, by Bloch, to finish with ‘Spiegel im Spiegel’ and ‘Fratres’, by Pärt.

The Dúo Cassadó exclusively record on the Warner Classics label. They have played in Israel, Canada, Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, Morocco, Tunisia, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal, Egypt, Jordan and China. In 2000 they began their artistic career, and since then they have received the recognition of the public and international critics. 

Damian Martínez is considered one of the best cellists of his generation. He was supported and recognized as such by Mstislav Rostropovich. The duo was also recommended by Alicia de Larrocha as the most brilliant duo representing Spanish chamber music. Their album Rapsodia del Sur was sponsored by the BBVA Foundation. It was chosen as one of the year's best albums and received the 'Melómano de Oro' award. The duo will soon perform in Spain, China, Germany, Switzerland and Japan.
