Matinee at Bodega Macià Batle: Liszt, Ravel and Chopin at Noon

Matinee at Bodega Macià Batle: Liszt, Ravel and Chopin at Noon

Sunday, April 12, 2026, 12:00 PM – a concert among barrels and light

If you drive up the narrow approach to Bodega Macià Batle on a bright spring morning, you notice immediately: this is not a conventional concert hall. Stone walls, wooden planks, the soft clink of glasses – and the sun streaming through a high window, glinting on red wine. The upcoming matinee makes use of precisely this intimacy: a piano, a player and three major works that speak to one another.

On the program are Franz Liszt's Sonata in B minor, Maurice Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit and Frédéric Chopin's Andante spianato et Grande Polonaise brillante. These are not snacks for in-between, but compositions that unfold their effect in calm. Liszt's sonata demands breath and concentration; it rolls through the room like an inner flood. Ravel brings shadows and shine into play, timbres that recall water, metal and distant bells. Chopin, by contrast, adds elegance and danceability: a closure that sets the table with a smile.

Matteo Weber takes the keyboard reins that midday. His programs are not chosen out of convenience; he arranges pieces so they begin a conversation. The result is not a mere succession, but a dramatic arc: from the density of the Romantic through impressionistic nocturnes to the Polish dance with a gentle aftertaste.

For Mallorca this is more than just a concert, as noted in Winery Concerts at Macià Batle: Autumn Season Begins on September 28. Formats like this bring culture to places where wine usually ripens and neighbors greet each other on their way to work. The combination of winery atmosphere and classical piano attracts not only concertgoers but also visitors who prefer something different on a Sunday than the usual outing. It's a small, genuine gain for the island: culture in everyday scenes, not only in large venues.

Practical: The matinee begins on Sunday, April 12, 2026, at 12:00 PM. If you want to secure a seat, you can reserve via WhatsApp: +34 695 266 179. A practical tip: arrive a little earlier to have a glass and soak up the atmosphere. The bodega is a space that lives precisely from this connection – music and wine, sound and scent.

One last word on the mood: it's a pleasant, almost playful seriousness that characterizes such events. You hear footsteps on the gravel, occasionally a distant laugh from the helpers, then again only keystrokes. For a Sunday afternoon in Mallorca, that sounds like a very good idea.

If you'd like a prelude: there's a curated playlist to listen to on Spotify (no link provided here), compiled so you can dip into the three worlds in advance. You can also read about a related event in Matinee at Bodega Macià Batle: Chopin Scherzi and Mendelssohn Trio on 30 November 2025. And if you stay afterwards – a glass from the barrel makes the reverberation lighter.

The matinee is a small contribution to the island's vibrant culture: close, warm and handmade. That's precisely what Mallorca needs.
