What happens when Federico García Lorca’s most sensual poems collide with a historic piano in the heart of Barcelona?
In this behind-the-scenes episode, soprano-musicologist Patricia Caicedo welcomes composer David Dies and tenor James Kryshak to reveal the fiery birth of El Diván del Tamarit—a brand-new song cycle premiering July 4, 2025 at the Biblioteca de Catalunya on Enric Granados’ own piano.
🔍 Listen in to discover: • How Dies turns Lorca’s “white fire” and surreal images into razor-edged harmonies and soaring vocal lines. • Why Kryshak calls the poems “painfully urgent” for today—and how he sculpts every Spanish syllable for maximum impact. • Caicedo’s mission to prove the United States is already a Spanish-speaking nation and to spotlight Iberian-Latin American art song at the Barcelona Festival of Song (July 3–12, 2025). • The teamwork—pianist Joel Papinoja, live poem recitations, and more—that transforms raw verse into living performance.
If you love poetry, vocal drama, or the electric moment when art is born, join us—on site or online—as Lorca’s echoes reverberate through 21st-century Barcelona.
