The series Soloists of the XXI Century was born in 1992 and is one of the longest-running of the Reina Sofía School of Music. Held in collaboration with Radio Clásica de Radio Nacional de España, every Saturday morning in May, it brings to the stage talented young musicians who will be the protagonists of the musical life of the coming years.

All the concerts in the series are also broadcast live on the radio as part of the series Los Conciertos de Radio Clásica, which allows to reach thousands of listeners of this radio station, an indispensable pillar in the dissemination of classical music in our country.

The clarinet and bassoon take centre stage in this concert with a programme that moves from the classical heritage in two early works by Beethoven and Glinka, to the expressive and technical audacity of Widmann and Kovács. As a sample of current writing, we will hear a work for bassoon solo by the student of the Inditex Composition Chair Andrés Felipe Poveda. The performance will be given by Cristian Rupa (clarinet), José Manuel López (bassoon), accompanied on piano by Juan Barahona.

It is recommended to arrive 20 minutes in advance, as a brief introduction to the concert will be given to the audience at 11:45.
