Falla and Literature focus two talks in Cádiz this month

The literary milieu in which Manuel de Falla moved and his Cádiz roots are the focus of two talks this November in Cádiz, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth. The first event is this Monday, November 9, at 19.00 hours, at the Biblioteca Pública Provincial de Cádiz. There, the musicologist José Ramón Ripoll and the professor Dácil González Mesa will talk under the title El ámbito literario de Falla. González Mesa is the author of a doctoral thesis on the musician's personal library, as recalled by the Centro Andaluz de las Letras, which organizes the series.

The second event will be on Monday, November 23, at 18.00 hours, at the Archivo Histórico Provincial de Cádiz. The archivists Santiago Saborido Piñero and Ángel Guisado Cuéllar will talk about the composer's Cádiz childhood and how his roots influenced his compositions, in a session titled El joven Falla: Raíces gaditanas de un compositor universal. Both activities are part of the series Manuel de Falla y la Literatura, which the Centro Andaluz de las Letras is holding in Cádiz to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the musician's birth. The series has already had a previous event this month: the meeting on Falla's literary milieu announced for this Monday at the Biblioteca Provincial. Both sessions are free to attend and do not require prior registration, according to the information provided by the organization.
