FESTIVAL JOAQUÍN RODRIGO. TEATRO REAL (SALA DE ORQUESTA) | Madrid
November 22nd, 2025 at 7:30 pm
As part of the 1st Joaquín Rodrigo Festival, which will take place from 2 October to 9 December 2025, the Sala de Orquesta of the Teatro Real (Plaza Isabel II, s/n) in Madrid will host a piano concert on November 22 paying tribute to the work of Ángel G. Piñero. On this occasion, the featured performers will be guitarist Angélica Rodríguez, winner of the 8th Ángel G. Piñero International Classical Guitar Competition, and the renowned Quartett HANA, who will reunite on stage following their concert on July 30 at the Museo San Juan de Dios – Casa de los Pisa (Granada).
The Teatro Real has hosted four concerts dedicated to Ángel’s work in recent years. On March 24, 2022, coinciding with what would have been his 90th birthday, a special homage to Spanish classical guitar and to Ángel G. Piñero himself was held. The event featured the Orquesta Clásica Santa Cecilia under the baton of José Antonio Montaño and brought together distinguished international artists from the world of Spanish classical guitar. On January 1, 2024, the Fundación Excelentia organized a New Year’s concert in the same venue to mark the 85th anniversary of the composition of Joaquín Rodrigo’s “Concierto de Aranjuez.” During that concert, Ángel’s work Brisas de Cádiz—inspired by the sunsets of his native land—was performed. On June 7 of the same year, a special concert was held combining his music with that of Manuel de Falla, another illustrious composer from Cádiz, celebrating the richness of Spanish repertoire. The most recent concert at the Teatro Real took place on April 23, 2025, also in the Orchestra Hall, and featured a piano concert dedicated to Ángel G. Piñero’s work. On that occasion, the piano was the star of the evening: renowned Italian composer, pianist, and conductor Paolo Marzocchi delighted the audience by performing his own piano adaptations of Ángel’s compositions, alongside works by other composers and some of his own creations.
In this very same Sala de Orquesta of the Teatro Real, on September 16, 2021, Ángel gave a lecture in which he explained the difference between playing with the right hand and the left hand—being the only guitarist in the history of the instrument to do so within the same concert. He later offered a guitar recital in which he demonstrated his virtuosity, performing three works by other composers and three of his own.
