CHAMBER MUSIC FROM THE MALAGA PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA AT THE PICASSO MUSEUM MALAGA


Event details

1 February 2026 until 14 July 2026

October 7, 2025 – July 14, 2026

With the twentieth anniversary of the longest-running musical cycle organized by the Malaga Philharmonic Orchestra (OFM) fast approaching, this nineteenth edition will see the doors of the Christine Ruiz-Picasso Auditorium reopen for a musical journey that, focusing on the richness of Central European tradition, will once again explore the ins and outs of jazz alongside various contemporary perspectives, without leaving behind Spanish and local composers.


All in all, this is a new edition of considerable interest which, perhaps, will seek to move the soul, as Frau and Arús mentioned in their legendary 19th-century encyclopedic work, in reference to the very definition of musical art, emphasizing the Greco-Latin cultural heritage that has so greatly influenced us as a civilization. In short, this is a new invitation to enjoyment and personal enrichment.
