One-on-one community concerts in Jesús

One musician, one listener. The setting, the music. And a social purpose that, this year, takes us to Hospital Santa Creu de Jesús.

The DeltaChamber Music Festival one-on-one concerts were first performed at the festival in 2020 under the theme ‘Parèntesi’. These concerts were first launched in Spain as an original and safe alternative during the pandemic. The format, which has proven successful, was then used in the 9th year of the festival as a community project, seeking to offer an exceptional, inclusive musical experience.

Now, for our 10^th anniversary, these one-on-one community concerts will be performed exclusively for users of Hospital Santa Creu de Jesús. Also on loan here is the temporary installation ‘A tu amparo’ by renowned architect Izaskun Chinchilla from Madrid, and will serve as the backdrop for the concerts. This social initiative is the result of a shared desire between DeltaChamber Music Festival and A Cel Obert, and the author of the work herself, to provide a more welcoming communal space for hospital users and their families.

The concerts will continue to be individual, each lasting 10 minutes, where 1 listener and 1 musician will meet in a setting of musical intimacy, proximity, and complicity. A singular, one-of-a-kind concert that taps into the intense visual contact between the listener and the musician.
