Lectures différentes is the brainchild of Kebyart, a young, energetic Spanish ensemble consisting of four talented saxophonists who breathe new life into the way classical music is presented.
For their debut recording, the group unapologetically arranged works from the standard repertoire, creating new and refreshing versions: from Stravinsky's Pulcinella, a modern take on eighteenth-century music, to Joan Pérez-Villegas' fantasy on García Lorca's popular melodies Canciones antiguas españolas and Haydn's String Quartet Op. 33 No. 3. The program also includes the premiere recording of Eötvös' own Lectures différentes. The ensemble's distinctive approach to the saxophones – enhanced by their own arrangements – illuminates different facets of the works.
Kebyart's passion for chamber music and fresh approach to classical music led to the ensemble being selected as ECHO Rising Stars for the 2021/22 season.
As part of the program, the ensemble will tour Europe's most prestigious venues.
