Pepita Greus 5tet

Featuring original compositions alongside arrangements of Spanish popular melodies from the early 21st century, this program offers a true musical escape into the heart of Las Fallas, Valencia’s spectacular city-wide celebrations. Bursting with collective energy, vivid colours, and street-born fervour, the music evokes parades, brass bands, crowded squares, and nights that seem to glow with sound.

The repertoire blends today’s writing with echoes of tradition. Pepita Greus, written exactly a century ago in 1926, appears as a bridge between memory and modernity. The result is a sunny, rhythm-driven immersion, where Valencian heritage meets contemporary reinvention.
