Timeline

1956

Benet Casablancas Domingo (born 2 April 1956 in Sabadell) is a Catalan composer and musicologist.

Casablancas started to study music in Barcelona's Conservatory of Music and privately with Josep Soler Sardà and then moved to Vienna, where he attended lessons in the Vienna Academy of Music with Friedrich Cerha and Karl Heinz F.üssl.

1982

He also graduated in philosophy in Universidad Autònoma de Barcelona (1982) and has a PhD in musicology by the same university.

He has always combined composition with teaching and research.

1990

Since the 1990s, Casablancas’ music enjoys an increasing international diffusion.

In 1990, the composition of the first piece of the “Epigrams” series was a turning point in Casablancas' musical language; it evolved from the early influence of the formal techniques of serialism towards wider and more sensual idiom, which shows a renewed harmonical, textural and instrumental thinking.

Critics have praised his music for keeping balance between constructional rigour and expressive strength, as well as for its timbrical richness.

1997

His “New Epigrams” (1997), which have been performed all around the world (USA, Russia, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Venezuela, Croatia, Lituania, Japan, etc.), represented Spain at the ISMC World Music Days Vilnius (2008).

2000

In 2000 he published the book “El humor en la música” and in 2002 he was appointed Academic Director of the Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu of Barcelona.

2005

Casablancas’ output covers a wide range of genres, although recently he has been very prolific in the orchestral field; since 2005, he has written “The Dark Backward of Time” (after “The Tempest” by Shakespeare), “Alter Klang.

Impromptu for Orchestra after Klee” and “Darkness visible.

Nocturnal for orchestra” (after Milton).

Casablancas's inspiration in paintings by artists like Paul Klee, Mark Rothko or Pablo Picasso is also one of his personal aims, in his search of creative feed-back between different artistic fields.

At the same time, he attains a new kind of rhythmical freedom and formal fluidity, close to the character of free improvisation, together with a new sense of harmonic brightness, in such pianistic works like the three "Haiku" (2007) or the "Impromptu" (2009), commissioned by the Finnish pianist Kristiina Junttu.
