Contemporary art, historical heritage, and classical music, Marbella's cultural offerings from January 15 to 18

The Marbella City Council, through the Culture Department, has scheduled four events for this week, which will take place from Thursday, January 15 ... to Sunday, January 18 at various venues around the city, linked to contemporary art, historical heritage, and classical music.

The agenda will begin on Thursday the 15th at the Cortijo Miraflores Cultural Center with the presentation, at 6:00 p.m., of the book 'Kavra. The Story of an Art Collective', a work that covers the trajectory of the artistic collective La Kavra since its inception in 2016 to the present. The publication documents a series of interventions that have contributed to transforming the social and cultural landscape of Marbella and proposes art as a tool for reflection, complaint, and awareness. The book addresses issues such as the defense of archaeological heritage, ecological activism, social and technological criticism, and reflection on the contemporary art market.

The Cortijo Miraflores Cultural Center hosts from the 15th an exhibition with works by 35 artists that proposes a visual dialogue on current conflicts, resistance, and freedom of expression

That same day, at 7:00 p.m. and in the same cultural space, the international exhibition 'The World Between War and Peace' will be inaugurated, featuring works by 35 artists of different nationalities and proposing a visual dialogue on current conflicts, resistance, and freedom of expression. The exhibition, which can be visited until February 11, reflects on the duality between the harshness of armed conflicts and peace processes, transferring to the international arena the social and cultural commitment of the organizing collective.

Stroll through the center and Bach

The programming will continue on Saturday, January 17, at 11:00 a.m., with a guided walk through the historic center of the city, starting from the ticket gate of the José Pernía Calderón Auditorium. During the activity, various sites where archaeological remains remain underground will be visited, as a result of interventions carried out in the last decade that have allowed the discovery of a Roman Marbella hitherto little known. The proposal is free, with prior registration, limited capacity and full places, and will be repeated monthly within the municipal agenda.

The cultural week will conclude on Sunday with a concert of the III International Bach-Marbella Organ Festival by a professor from a Polish music university

The cultural week will close on Sunday, January 18, at 5:00 p.m., with a concert of the III International Bach-Marbella Organ Festival at the Parish of Our Lady of the Incarnation. The recital will be performed by Polish organist Jan Bokszczanin, a professor at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw and one of the most outstanding performers of his generation. The program will include works by Johann Sebastian Bach and other European composers, in an event that consolidates the presence of top international performers in the city's cultural calendar.
