Right now, as you read the lines of text before you, the words take on a particular, unique sound in your head. With a certain intonation, a rhythm, a melody! This is the accent, each person’s impression in sound – and therefore music – conditioned by the region we’re born in, the setting we grow up in, the education we receive…
On this record you’ll find the compositional accents of six composers who have shared a century, the 20th, but who have captured it in their music in very diverse ways. You’ll also find the interpretative accents of four young Catalans eager to show the fruits of years of study and labour. But above all, you’ll find a common accent reflected in a particular way of making and understanding music: with vitality. With passion. The accent of the Keybart Ensemble.
Kebyart Ensemble was founded in Barcelona in 2014, formed by four young men, committed to and passionate about chamber music. They have been awarded major music awards like the Primer Palau 2016, the Montserrat Alavedra-Premio BBVA de Música and the Concurso Permanente de Juventudes Musicales de España, among others. As of 2017 they are Selmer and Vandoren artists.
