This exhibition celebrated the 100th anniversary of Jesús Bal y Gay's birth. Following a chronological structure, his musical compositions, essays, photographs, and documents guided the visitor throughout the brilliant intellectual and artistic life of this artist. It explored his childhood and teen years in Lugo, his relationship with Manuel de Falla, first from the distance and then up close and personal when he married Falla's student Rosita Garcia Ascot in 1933; his friendship with intellectuals at the Residencia de Estudiantes, where he lived from 1925 to 1933; his connection with the Seminar of Galician Studies; his newspaper articles; his stay in Cambridge where he was appointed lecturer in Spanish language, and 27 years of exile in Mexico, where he worked as a musicologist, composer and essayist and became a reference figure in the musical scene. However, back in Spain, after an initial success when his compositions were played, he gradually fell into an oblivion broken only by a few honors and recognitions.
