Guerra described Noches de España as a tribute to Spain’s cultural heritage, combining rhythmic vitality with lyrical expression. “I wanted to celebrate the timeless beauty of Spain—its nights, its poetry, its music—and translate that into a modern string quartet,” he said in advance of the premiere.
