Classical Concert for Easter – Santiago de la Ribera – 28TH March 2018
Another of the musical events put on for Easter is a classical concert in Santiago de la Ribera staring the Soprano Charo Alcarz, Mezzosoprano Tatiana Glazcova and the piano player Octavio Roaina who will be performing “Stabat Mater” by Pergolesi. This is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the amazing work composed by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi in the 18th Century in an intimate concert.
Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710-1736) was born in Italy and became well known for his comic opera in particular “Serva Padrona”.
He was a composer, violinist and organist. He unfortunately died at a young ages, most likely from Tuberculosis as there was no known cure at the time and he was not of strong constitution
It is believed that “Stabat Mater” was one if not the last piece he composed and is widely acclaimed, inspiring other composers to imitate.
The concert will take place in the Principe de Asturias cultural centre in Santiago de la Ribera at 20:30pm. Tickets costs €5 and all proceeds will be donated to a Charity Aidemar.
Aidemar is a non-profit association, made up of families with children who have disabilities and who have been developing activities since 1982.
Flamenco and Religious Murcia concert – San Javier – 25th March 2018 (free entry)
The San Javier band and Piñana Choir will be performing a series of musical events thought out Easter.
San Javier is somewhat of a curious case being that there are one of the few place throughout Spain that do not do procession for Easter. Instead they put on several shows to bring the community together. One of those events is the town’s official band performing a variety of flamenco and hymns with some of the music dating back to the 18th century when these genres begin to climb in popularity in Murcia and the rest of Spain. The concert will also include pieces from the 20th century composes Abel Moreno and Emilio Cebrián.
The concert will take place on 25th March at 20:30pm in the Templo San Francisco Javier.
