The Cerezales Antonino y Cinia Foundation (FCAYC) presents Sequence XI, a new sound intervention by SEQUENCES, a cycle of sound interventions in spaces.
On this occasion, the guest composer is Pilar Miralles, winner of the 34th Premio Jóvenes Compositores Fundación SGAE-CNDM, together with the Porma and Curueño neighbourhoods. With Sequence XI, Miralles proposes a situated listening, an invocation of the communal through small sonorities and shared gestures. Cowbells that were and could be become the guiding thread of a choral composition that emerges from the relationship between humans, animals, vegetation and collective memory.
This concert, conceived as a physical and sonorous journey, will take place on 24 May at 19:00 hours in the Holm oak forest of Devesa de Curueño, starting with a joint walk from the village church. During the approximately 15-20 minute walk, the landscape, the sounds and the communal memory will be an active part of the experience.
Invitation is required to attend. From Monday 19 May, at 10:00 a.m., The option will be enabled to obtain it in the following way free y simple through the FCAYC website.

About Pilar Miralles:
Pilar Miralles (Almería, 1997) is a composer and sound artist. She studied a Master in Electroacoustic Composition at the Centro Superior Katarina Gurska in Madrid (2020) and a Master in Composition at the Sibelius Academy of the University of the Arts in Helsinki, Finland (2022). She is currently a student of the artistic doctorate at the DocMus Doctoral School, at the same institution. In her research project she seeks to question, from the compositional process, the normalisation of a culture of overload, whose main consequence is the lack of space for the reflexive construction of oneself.
Her works have been part of festivals such as Suvisoitto in Porvoo (Finland, 2024), Time of Music in Viitasaari (Finland, 2023), the VANG cycle at CentroCentro in Madrid (2023) or ManiFeste at IRCAM in Paris (France, 2022). She has recently won the Premio Jóvenes Compositores Fundación SGAE-CNDM, which allows her to be the composer-in-residence of the Red de Juventudes Musicales de España during the 2024/25 season.
Pilar also co-teaches the SuperCollider programming course organised by the music technology department of the Sibelius Academy and participates in the Ulysses Journeys for Young Composers, organised by the Ulysses Network since 2023.
