Éxito rotundo en la inauguración de la temporada 2025-26 de ADDA·Simfònica
ADDA·Simfònica, bajo la dirección de Josep Vicent, inauguró el pasado viernes 3 de octubre su nueva temporada sinfónica “Viaje a Ítaca” con un lleno absoluto y una ovación cerrada u explosiva del público en el Auditorio de la Diputación de Alicante.
El programa incluyó el estreno absoluto de ITACA, obra del compositor alicantino Ximo Cano, dedicada a Josep Vicent y ADDA Simfònica, el Concierto para piano n.º 2 de Chopin con la brillante interpretación de Martín García García, y una impactante versión de la Sinfonía n.º 4 de Chaikovski.
En palabras del crítico Jose Antonio Cantón (El Mundo, RITMO, Scherzo): “una versión absolutamente histórica que le deja sin palabras”
Antes del concierto, Josep Vicent ofreció una charla exclusiva para los abonados en la que explicó el hilo conductor de la temporada, inspirada en el viaje interior y la búsqueda constante de la belleza y la emoción.
“Cada concierto será una etapa del viaje, una invitación a la emoción, al riesgo y a la belleza sonora que nos une”, destacó el maestro.
Unforgettable night at amazing Festival Berlioz stage with Orchestre National d'Ile de France and that truly intense music!
Looking forward to more adventures!
Josep Vicent made his debut as the new Principal Conductor of the Argovia Philharmonic with a vibrant and captivating performance.
The season-opening concert took place at the Alte Reithalle in Aarau, launching the 2025/26 program “Célébration.” It was the orchestra’s first opportunity to present Vicent to its audience, and he immediately won their hearts with his music, energy, and approachable style.
The evening featured Latvian violinist Kristine Balanas as soloist in the Violin Concerto by Austrian-Hungarian composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold. Her performance combined dazzling virtuosity with lyrical sensitivity and expressive depth, earning warm and sustained applause.
Vicent, who describes himself as a conductor who offers “more inspiration than instruction,” succeeded in bringing the orchestra together while conveying freshness and genuine enthusiasm. Critics praised his communicative flair and expressive gestures, which infused both the musicians and the audience with energy.
The program also included Igor Stravinsky’s symphonic suite The Firebird, which the orchestra performed with remarkable brilliance under Vicent’s direction.
The enthusiastic audience demanded encores, and the evening ended in a true spirit of celebration and connection between musicians and listeners.

Two unforgettable concerts, sold-out performances at the opening of the Ljubljana Festival
Josep Vicent opened the prestigious Ljubljana Festival with a stunning production of The Creation by Haydn, alongside Carlus Padrissa, ADDA·Simfònica, La Fura dels Baus and the Slovenian Philharmonic Choir. Just a few days later, he returned to the stage with another resounding success: El Amor Brujo, in a powerful blend of classical music and flamenco, featuring the extraordinary voice of Ginesa Ortega and the passionate dance of David Romero.
True to his unique artistic signature, Josep Vicent surprised audiences with a vibrant and eclectic program that also included works by Bernstein, Falla, Shostakovich and Rimsky-Korsakov. The renowned Cankarjev Dom was packed to capacity on both nights—electrifying “sold outs” crowned with standing ovations that lasted several unforgettable minutes.
Thank you, Slovenia.
