The DNA concert includes works by Sibelius, Vivaldi, Falla, Halffter, Lili Boulanger and Skalkottas at the seafront auditorium in Águilas

The new A Tempo season of classical music events brings down the curtain on 2026 in Águilas on Sunday 20^th December, with a concert in which the multi-award-winning Dianto Reed Quintet presents “DNA”, a distinctive project that takes the musicians' own origins as the starting point for a musical journey. Following genetic tests undertaken by all five members, the programme traces an unexpected map of connections stretching from Scandinavia to the Balkans, and from the Mediterranean to Latin America.

Sibelius, Vivaldi, Falla, Halffter, Lili Boulanger and Skalkottas sit alongside traditional music and new works by Ramin Amin Tafreshi and Fuensanta Méndez. The result is far more than a geographical journey: it becomes a reflection, through sound, on identity, memory, inheritance and belonging. Five reed instruments, and one shared question: how many places make up the story of who we are?

The five members of the quintet are María González Bullón (oboe), María Luisa Olmos Ros (clarinet), Ovidi Martí Garasa (saxophone), Erik Steven Rojas Toapanta (bass clarinet) and María Losada Burgo (bassoon).

Tickets for the concert, which begins at 20.00, are available at 20 euros online here as well as through the auditorium box office and at the local Archaeological museum and the Casa de la Cultura.

In addition, season tickets for all of the five events scheduled between 30^th October and 20^th December can be purchased at 75 euros here.
