The music that forms part of Jesús Reina’s life converges in Cruze de caminos. Some paths will take the audience to the folklore of his childhood, and others will ring with gypsy music, the romantic repertoire or popular melodies. Accompanied by the masterful pianist Misha Dačić and with the special collaboration of the model guitarist Juan Habichuela Nieto and a string orchestra specially configured for this concert, Reina will take us on a journey from one place to another with his improvisations. The audience will be the evening’s guest of honour at this crossroads, the musical heart of the violinist from Malaga.
Jesús Reina has performed with some of the most prestigious orchestras and at some of most renown venues worldwide, including Wigmore Hall, Royal Festival Hall and Carnegie Hall in New York, the Mariinsky Theatre Philharmonic, Barcelona Symphony Orchestra, ADDA Symphony Orchestra, Munich Chamber Music Orchestra and the Malaga Philharmonic Orchestra. The violinist from Malaga has just published in Aria Classics the album Divina comedia, which includes the Violin Concerto No.1, Op.6, by Paganini and the Violin Concerto in D Major, Op.35, by Tchaikovsky with the OFM and conducted by Salvador Vázquez.
In addition to his technical skills and his command of the violin, critics highlight “his sound of true musicality, talent and charisma” (El País) and his “sunny and soulful personality”, in the words of the prestigious journalist and musical critic John Rockwell.
Reina is not only an ambassador of his hometown around the world, but also brings international talent to Malaga: the Málaga Clásica festival, which he organizes together with Anna Margrethe Nilsen and in which teachers from all continents take part, celebrated its eleventh edition in 2023.
