3b. Classical, jazz, museum events and cinema
From valencia.konzert.haus, valencia.ins.museum and valencia.lichtspiel.haus, pulled 15 Nov. The concert site excludes pop and rock. Cinema data thins out after 13 Dec (0–2 listings per day on 14–19 Dec) because cinemas have not published yet, not because nothing is on. Likewise konzert.haus shows 0 concerts on 23 Nov, 3, 7, 8 and 14 Dec. That is 0 in its coverage of 16 venues, not proof those days are empty. Undated permanent MuVIM items (Espai Gutenberg, Medieval Tower; the Pare Tosca model is in the free tips above) are left out of the exhibition tables.
Classical, jazz, chamber (konzert.haus)
Palau = Palau de la Música. Cambra al Palau is its chamber series.
- Tue 24 Nov — Opening concert of the academic year, Orquestra Filharmònica Universitat de València (Palau, 19:30).
- Wed 25 — Free: Tanya Durán-Gil, soprano, with Giorgio Celenza, piano (Capella de la Sapiència, 19:00). Banda Simfònica del Conservatori Superior (Palau, 19:30). Miércoles Manouche, gypsy jazz (La Vitti, 20:00; repeats Wed 2, 9 Dec, and 16 Dec at 22:00).
- Thu 26 and Fri 27 — Ritual of the Swan (Les Arts, 19:30 both nights; no description found).
- Fri 27 — Stravinsky, Rite of Spring, with Orquestra de València and the Silver-Garburg piano duo (Palau, 19:30).
- Sun 29 — Banda Sinfónica Municipal with saxophonist Mario Biendicho (Palau, 11:30). Free: MuVIM concert, Beethoven sonatas to Rachmaninov preludes (12:00). Het Collectief, Debussy to Schönberg (Cambra al Palau 4, 19:00). Jam sessions at LOOM (7 €) and CIM Benimaclet (3 €), 20:00; the same jams repeat Sun 6 Dec and Sun 13 Dec.
- Mon 30 Nov — MusaE concert cycle, Duo Elysium (Museo Nacional de Cerámica, 20:00).
- Wed 2 Dec — Goldberg Variations, Xavier Torres (Cambra al Palau 5, 19:30).
- Sat 5 — Sociedad Filarmónica: David and Carlos Apellániz, cello and piano (Palau, 11:30).
- Wed 9 — Victoria Musicae (Jardí Botànic auditorium, 19:00). Schubert's "Great" Symphony: Freiburger Barockorchester, Pablo Heras-Casado, soprano Francesca Pia Vitale (Palau, 19:30).
- Thu 10 — Napoli inedita (Cambra al Palau 6, 19:30).
- Sat 12 — Jove Big Band Sedajazz (Jardí Botànic; time not listed). Scheherazade: Orquestra de València, double bassist Edicson Ruiz, Christian Vásquez conducting (Palau, 19:00).
- Sun 13 — Festa de Nadales, Pequeños Cantores de València, benefit for Fundación Columbus (Palau, 11:30). Geografías de la guitarra, Pablo Sáinz Villegas (Cambra al Palau 7, 19:00).
- Wed 16 — Christmas concert in aid of Farmamundi (Palau, 19:30).

- Fri 18 — Mahler 1; Haydn trumpet concerto with Pacho Flores (Orquestra de València, Palau, 19:30).
Cross-check against the earlier FindeValencia entries. konzert.haus scrapes the venues' own sites. Where the two agree, the date, time and venue match: Falla recital, Haydn/Mozart, Schubert, Scheherazade, Beethoven III, Bach, Mahler 1, Fagioli, Brownlee, Manacorda, Lohengrin. Differences:
- Venue names. Teatre Martín i Soler and the Auditori are halls inside the Palau de les Arts, so the sources agree on Zambomba Flamenca (Sat 12 Dec, Les Arts – Teatre Martín i Soler, 19:00, €30) and on the 32 € Yerai Cortés concert (Fri 27 Nov, Les Arts – Auditori, 19:30). Same-venue note: La Leona (Fri 4 Dec) is also in the Teatre Martín i Soler.
- Yerai Cortés, second listing. FindeValencia also lists "Yerai Cortés – Popular" at Palau de les Arts, 19:30, €40. Unclear whether that is a different ticket tier, a second hall or a duplicate. konzert.haus shows only the €32 concert.
- 9 Dec, 19:00. FindeValencia lists Prophetiae Sibyllarum (Capella de la Sapiència, free). konzert.haus lists only Victoria Musicae at the Jardí Botànic at the same hour, and has no Capella event that day. One of them may be missing or the programme may differ. Confirm with La Nau.
- Only on konzert.haus: 25 Nov Banda Simfònica, 2 Dec Goldberg Variations, 10 Dec Napoli inedita, 13 Dec Festa de Nadales and Cambra al Palau 7, 16 Dec Farmamundi concert, 26 and 27 Nov Ritual of the Swan, the weekly jazz.
- Only on FindeValencia: Ramon Gener's free Lohengrin talks (3 and 9 Dec) and Una mañana con… (13 Dec). These are talks rather than concerts, so the concert site would not list them.
