Concert given by the UNSA Symphony Orchestra
Conducted by Christophe Talmont
–
Teatro Municipal
The Symphony Orchestra of the Universidad Nacional San Agustín, conducted by maestro Christophe Talmont (France), will offer a very original programme that centres on the Requiem, Op.48, by Gabriel Fauré, on the centenary of his death in 1924. This innovative concert has been prepared with the close involvement of Talmont and the conductor of the UNSA Symphony Orchestra, Pilar Lopera (Peru), and proposes the performance of works that represent a certain idea of the French approach to music, so well represented by Fauré, whose message is one of intimacy and interiority and which focusses on the purity of the musical idea. His Requiem is an example of this, from the very first chords, and, thanks to its consoling message, it has moved audiences and musicians ever since it was first played.

Gabriela Wiener in conversation with Liliana Colanzi, with the participation of Renata Flores
South to south
–
Colegio de Abogados (auditorio)
The acclaimed and award-winning writer and journalist Gabriela Wiener will talk to Liliana Colanzi about her most recent novel. Wiener is the author of books such as Sexographies, Nine Moons, Llamada perdida, Dicen de mí and Undiscovered. Her new book, Atusparia, presents us with the story of a left-wing politician, a victim of lawfare, imprisoned in a high-security jail in the Amazon rainforest. There, capitalism launches an attack on her ideals, submerging her in a whirlwind of drugs and sex that leads her to undertake an introspective journey to Lake Titicaca, in imitation of her childhood hero. This posindigenista novel exposes hierarchies and power struggles as the forces that undermine the emancipatory movements. With the participation of the musician Renata Flores, famous for fusing Andean music with trap, hip-hop and pop styles, and for writing lyrics in Quechua.
Performance by children from the Hogar de Cristo home
–
Plaza San Francisco
The girls and boys of the Hogar de Cristo home bring their special energy to the opening of the Hay Festivalito, sharing what they have learned at their dance, music, reading and games workshops. This will be an artistic presentation that invites the audience to participate in a musical performance, created by the performers themselves. With a little imagination, household objects become musical instruments. At the Hogar de Cristo home, the main theme for 2024 is respecting and protecting Mother Earth and all the workshops aim to deal with this very urgent matter. Hogar de Cristo has become involved in the Arequipa initiative “One tree, one life” in order that children understand, in greater depth over time, the significance of and need to protect, water and plant, in every sense of the terms. Music, song and dance are the food of the soul and we invite audiences to enjoy the classic Andean folk of the Hogar de Cristo, El árbol de la queñua es vida.

Christophe Talmont in conversation with Doris Zuzunaga
Music, a means of communication
–
Plaza San Francisco
Music is, essentially, a communication tool, often underutilized for connecting with the community. If we look at the career of the French maestro Christophe Talmont, known for his eclecticism and his passion for sharing his experience with younger generations, we’ll see that we have many unresolved issues regarding musical management in our environment. How do we use public spaces to educate and attract the public to music? How do we demystify the belief that classical music is only for connoisseurs? How can we establish a more constructive dialogue between parents, teachers, and students around music? How do we replace hard-to-access instruments due to their high cost with materials available to everyone? In a conversation that will encourage public participation, Doris Zuzunaga, a musical educator from Arequipa, will take advantage of Christophe Talmont's warm disposition to leave us with ideas that we can adapt to our environment, to learn and have fun in the process.

No figure has had more impact on Peruvian popular culture than Lorenzo Palacios Quispe, known as “Chacalón”. A musical idol, hero of the working class, saint and prophet of the dispossessed, his memory has attained legendary stature in a country constantly struggling against despair and injustice. Papá Huayco is a novel portraying the life of Chacalón through a range of voices that speak through a poetic register and the language of the street, telling a story which is also that of so many thousands of Peruvians, who came to Lima in the last half of the 20th century. Alfredo Villar is a curator, art historian, music researcher, writer and DJ, and he has recently published the widest-ranging study carried out into Peruvian Cumbia: Yawar chicha: los ríos profundos de la música tropical peruana. In conversation with Karen Bernedo.

–
Casa Tristán del Pozo - Fundación BBVA
Las palabras de Chabuca is a publication from the Biblioteca Abraham Valdelomar press, which brings together, for the first time, all the journalism content available related to the great Peruvian composer, creating an autobiographical profile with her own words, in a way that has never been done before. The book was first published in September 2020 to mark a century since her birth. That first edition had 14 interviews given by Isabel “Chabuca” Granda y Larco between 1959 and 1982 in countries such as Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, Chile, Spain and Peru. This second edition has over 130 texts, mainly interviews, some given in Brazil and Colombia, as well as news stories, cuttings of her presentations, and posthumous homage paid after her death in March 1983. Her daughter, Teresa Fuller, Chair of the Chabuca Granda Cultural Association, will talk to the book’s editor, Alberto Rincón Effio.
