Bach and Kurtág: Franco-Catalan cellist Daniel Claret invites us to an encounter between these two great composers, separated by time but united by a spiritual bond and a shared musical essence. An opportunity to rediscover Kurtág, whose centennial we are celebrating this year.

A native of Barcelona, Catalonia, cellist Daniel Claret has enjoyed a remarkable career that has taken him to stages across Spain, Germany, and Andorra, both as a soloist and a chamber musician. Trained by renowned masters such as Julius Berger and Bernard Greenhouse, he made his debut at the prestigious Palau de la Música Catalana at the age of 23.

A professor at the Liceu Higher Conservatory of Music in Barcelona, he brilliantly combines performance, creation, and teaching. His artistic journey is distinguished by his openness to contemporary and interdisciplinary forms, while remaining deeply rooted in the great cello repertoire. The Centre d’art de Richmond is pleased to welcome this renowned artist from overseas for an evening that promises to be as moving as it is exceptional.

The Spanish name of the band, Para Siempre—which translates to “pour toujours” in French and “forever” in English—refers to Return to Forever, one of the most popular groups led by the great jazz pianist and composer Chick Corea. It also evokes the musician’s love for Spanish music and culture.

Para Siempre is a group composed of five musicians (vocals, guitar, piano, bass, drums/percussion) that performs original arrangements of a repertoire featuring some of the most iconic pieces by Armando Anthony “Chick” Corea, one of the most important musicians in the history of jazz. The program will include, among others, the following titles, which are considered standards of the jazz repertoire: Spain, Windows, 500 Miles High, La Fiesta, etc.
