Joan Manén is one of the most paradigmatic cases of how an artist with great fame and recognition during his life time can fall into absolute oblivion after his death. Years later, after receiving a Deutsche Grammophon CD collection from his grandfather for his 16th birthday, Marc Migó became unexpectedly and passionately drawn to its contents; three years later, he enrolled at ESMUC (Superior Music School of Catalonia). Joan Manén: Catalan Concertinos and Fantasías, CD released in 2021, features music by both composers Joan Manén and Marc Migó, interpreted by Kalina Macuta at violin, and Daniel Blanch at piano, among others.

The production reflects on how so many lives continue to be stolen by attacks on the LGBTQ+ community in this country and how we need to heal together despite our differences.
