MSKN MasterEnsemble is a versatile orchestral formation in which the Master in Music Performance students obtain a high-level professional training, focusing above all on the repertoire that ranges from the 20th century classics to the première of new works.

José Luis Estellés is programming and conducting this 2021*22 three programs.

This new season of MSKN MasterEnsemble presents three exciting programmes: the first, eclectic in its approach, brings together works by composers as different as Nancarrow, Etler and Thomas Adès, whose early Chamber Symphony op. 2 is performed. The second programme stages Ramón Lazkano’s exquisite composition ‘Préludes’, which is performed intertwined with Chopin’s Préludes op. 28. The last programme consists of two adaptations for chamber orchestra of two essential works from the early 20th century: Claude Debussy’s Première Rhapsody and Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, in which we will see José Luis Estellés in his two facets as soloist and conductor.
