Ahmed Dickinson premieres music by Catalan composer Maria Camahort
Ahmed Dickinson’s concert at Queen Mary last month, organised by the Centre for Catalan Studies, was a truly special evening, bringing together the music of Eduardo Martín and the Catalan composer Maria Camahort.
The first half of the programme featured works by renowned Cuban composer Eduardo Martín, whose presence in the audience made the occasion even more meaningful.
The second half was devoted to the music of award-winning Catalan composer Maria Camahort. Cuban guitarist Ahmed Dickinson performed a selection of her recent works, including Homenaje a Cofiner, Círculos de Tiempo, Agua Pura, Avenir, Alba Nova, and Ponent, capturing the poetic textures and Mediterranean warmth of her style. A video message from Camahort herself introduced this part of the concert, in which she spoke about her musical journey and the inspiration behind her compositions—adding a personal and engaging touch to the evening.
