Antonio Muñoz Molina, Josep Pons, Cuarteto Avanti and Jesús Ruiz Mantilla

Translating music

Segovia 2012, 
To what extent can music be described in words? Many works of literature have inspired music compositions and vice versa. But has the result ever been anything more than merely abstract? Josep Pons, Musical Director of the Liceu and writer Antonio Muñoz Molina discuss each of the art forms in a dialogue chaired by Jesús Ruiz Mantilla. The Cuarteto Avanti opens and closes the event with variations on the theme.
Co-organized with the Junta de Castilla-León and the Fundación Lara.
