In November 2022, Laura Lootens won the Andrés Segovia competition in Andalusia - one of the most important guitar competitions in the world - at the age of just 23. The young guitarist will also be making her festival debut under Iberian skies: the first part will feature works by Spanish composers of the 19th and 20th century which captivated her by their "fiery character, their grace and their astonishingly beautiful melodies and lively rhythms". She arranged the two pieces by Isaac Albéniz, originally intended for the piano, for the guitar herself. In the second half of the concert, Laura Lootens then spreads out predominantly Italian moods.
