On November 16 and 22 will take place in the municipality of Santa Eulària two concerts organized to celebrate Santa Cecilia, patron saint of musicians, which is commemorated precisely on the latter date. In both cases the two recitals are free although they will try to collect some aid to those affected by the DANA.
The first of the two dates is this Saturday, starting at 7.30 pm, at the Palacio de Congresos. It is organized by the Escola Municipal de Música and the Banda Municipal de Música. In this case, both entities want to remember that, once it has been possible to resume some normality in the affected localities, it will be important to support the musical societies of these populations, great social dynamizers, who have lost rehearsal rooms and instruments. Therefore, donations are requested to be made to the account of the Federació de Societats Musicals de la Comunitat Valenciana that groups this type of cultural entities. The number is ES45 3159 0078 5630 4840 6023.
As for the performance, it is free until full capacity and will feature the Municipal Band and the Youth Band of l’Escola Municipal de Música. In its first part, the student formation, under the direction of Francisco Martínez, will perform four pieces: ‘The Nutcracker’, by Tchaikovsky; ‘The Planets’, by Holst; ‘The Pink Panther’, by Henry Mancini; and ‘The Oregon Trail’, by Story.
In the second section, the Municipal Band with Frank Cogollos at the baton will offer ‘Rafael, Paco i José Antonio’, by Ferrer Ferran, ‘Fate of Gods’, by Steven Reineke; and ‘Lexicon of the Gods’, by Rossano Galante. As a grand finale, both ensembles will perform the famous ‘Oh happy Day!’ by Edwin Hawkins.
The second concert is organized by the Cor de Puig d’en Valls and will take place on Friday next week, starting at 8 p.m., in the church of es Puig d’en Valls. The recital, which has the support of the Comissió de Festes des Puig d’en Valls and the City Council of Santa Eulària, will be free but voluntary donations will be collected for those affected by the DANA. The performance ‘Cançons viscudes’ will be directed by Lina Veny and the collaboration of Juanjo Díaz on the piano
