The Náyade Choir, boasting over three decades of experience, is currently in its “best moment,” according to Idoia Ausan, the association's president. Beyond its 35 active singers, the choir has recently developed innovative musical projects that extend beyond traditional choral styles, integrating other artistic and cultural disciplines.
A prime example of this evolution is the concert Iraganetik hona, scheduled for this Saturday at Itsas Etxea. This new artistic endeavor aims to merge music and history into a single performance, inviting the audience on a journey through Hondarribia's past, starting from the voices of its inhabitants.
It will be an immersive experience, where music and words will intertwine to revive significant moments from the past.
The project's core revolves around the dialogue between three languages: choral music, performed by Náyade; instrumental music, interpreted by students from the Hondarribia School of Music and Dance; and historical narrative, provided by local historian María José Noain Maura.
The concert is structured into three parts, covering a historical journey from the 16th to the 21st century. Each segment will commence with a historical episode narrated by María José Noain, serving as a bridge to the musical pieces that will follow, “reflecting the character, emotions, and social changes of each era.”
