Pierre-Laurent Aimard is the soloist of a musical programme that, directed by the Pole, Marta Gardolinska, includes “The Scottish” by Mendelssohn

The Tenerife Symphony Orchestrais approaching its opening concert of the 2022-2023 season under the baton of the Polish conductor Marta Gardolinska. The French pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard is participating as a guest soloist in a repertoire formed by pieces by Beethoven and Mendelssohn. The first event will be on Friday the 9^th of September at 7:30 p.m., in the Auditorio de Tenerife.

The Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-Flat Major, Emperor, Op. 73 by Ludwig Van Beethoven, op. 73, will open the subscription programme of the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra. The score, which was written in 1809, was premiered in 1811, it was his last, and perhaps, the most renowned of his concerts. Its writing coincided with the Napoleonic invasion of Vienna, turbulent times, where the author created a composition that embodied the fighting dream and desire for victory. Also, this piece has an innovative aesthetic that will set the pattern for subsequent romantic-style concerts.

In the second part of the concert, the island group will perform Symphony No. 3 in A minor, “The Scottish”, Op. 56 by Felix Mendelssohn. This score, written between 1829 and 1842, is inspired by the composer’s first trip to the United Kingdom, where, after a series of performances in London, he embarked on a journey around Scotland. Indeed, in the scherzo, it is possible to identify reminiscences of traditional rhythms from the highlands. 

Marta Gardolinska is the current musical director of the National Opera of Lorraine, although she has also conducted the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra as a young associate director and has been the assistant to Gustavo Dudamel in the Los Angeles Philharmonic during the recording of Symphony No. 4 by Charles Ives for Deutsche Grammophon. 

In addition to the opening event with the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra, Gardolinska will make her debut this season with the Philharmonia Orchestra and the Hallé Orchestra. She will also conduct the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, the Symphony Orchestra of the Polish National Radio and the Bournemouth Symphony. She will also go on a tour with the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra and Nicolas Altstaedt which she will combine with directing the season of the Orchestre National de Lorraine. 

In her professional career, Marta Gardolinska has participated with renowned European groups, such as the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, L'Opéra National de Bordeaux, Opéra national du Rhin, London Symphony Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Royal Northern Sinfonia or the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

The French pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard, who is giving a performance tomorrow [Tuesday 6] at the Chamber Hall of the Auditorium of Tenerife, is considered a key current musical figure, and he has extensive professional experience, having collaborated with renowned contemporary composers, such as György Ligeti, Karlheinz Stockhausen, George Benjamin, Pierre Boulez and Oliver Messiaen.

His background includes different collaborations with prestigious groups, such as the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, Radio Filharmonisch Orkest, Deutsche Symphony Orchester Berlin, Orchestre National de Lille or Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France. Also, outside of Europe, he has collaborated with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

Aimard begins the 2022/23 season by receiving Denmark's most prominent music award, the Leonie Sonning Music Prize 2022, which will be celebrated in a series of concerts with the Royal Danish Orchestra/Cambreling and recitals in Copenhagen and Aarhus. This award joins others such as the prestigious Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik, awarded by German critics.

In addition to tickets for this concert, any of the types of passes available for the 2022-2023 season can also be purchased up until this Friday on the website www.sinfonicadetenerife.es, at the auditorium's box office and by dialling the phone number 902 317 327 from Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

This Sunday, the Barcelona-born organist Aarón Ribas Zorrilla will play this unique instrument in the world

Toccata Nocturna opens the programme of this season's organ concert cycle at the Auditorio de Tenerife, a cultural venue linked to the Department of Culture of the Tenerife Island Council that is managed by its island's Minister of Culture, Enrique Arriaga. The Barcelona-born organist Aarón Ribas Zorrilla will play the great instrument housed within the walls of Symphony Hall on Sunday, 11 September, at 12:00 noon. This matinee takes place with the collaboration of the RACBA (San Miguel Archangel Royal Regional Academy of Fine Arts).

This young, award-winning organist, for whom the organ "has the same capacity to induce meditation and momentum", explains that he has found the night to be the best setting for all of this to happen. For Ribas, the germ of this ambitious programme "is for introspection but also for the explosion of brilliant fireworks", in which "the intimacy of the nocturnes contrasts with the force of the toccatas".

The power and depth of the toccatas by Bach, Heiller and Migó are highlighted alongside the delicate lines of the nocturnes by Chopin and the Clair de Lune by Debussy. This dialogue between some of the greatest composers is the result of a long exploratory process that has led Ribas to play in important European settings over recent years.

In 2013, Ribas won first prize in the organ competition to commemorate Joseph Gabler, held in Ochsenhausen (Germany) and first prize in the 82nd edition of the Spanish Permanent Competition for Young Musical Performers, awarded unanimously by the jury. At this competition, he also obtained a special prize from the EMCY (European Union of Competitions for Youth) for a European tour.

For the 2016-2017 season, he was selected by AIE (the Association of Performing Artists) for his Classics in Route series. In 2017 he was a finalist in the Primer Palau series organised by the Palau de la Música Catalana. He recently won second place in the II Francisco Salinas - VIII Centenary of the Cathedral of Burgos national organ competition.

As a solo organist, this performer is committed to contemporary music for the organ. He regularly performs concerts at important festivals and cathedrals in Europe, such as in Spain, Andorra, France, Germany, Lithuania and Italy. He has performed as a soloist and occasionally collaborated with many orchestras.

Thanks to his knowledge, he has advised several projects such as the new organ of the Parish Church of Santa Rita in Madrid. He is currently the organist in the Parish Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the neighbourhood of Argüelles and the Parish Church of Santa Rita in Chamberí, Madrid.

The organ was built in the 20^th century by the prestigious organ builder Albert Blancafort and his team, the Auditorium's organ is considered a unique instrument in the world for its design, sound and musical ranges. The sounds are produced by 3,835 pipes that are housed in the walls of the emblematic Symphony Hall, which are controlled by the organist from on-stage through the console where he is performing.

The tickets can be purchased at a single price of €15 on the website www.auditoriodetenerife.com, at the auditorium's box office or by dialling the phone number 902 317 327 from Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Check the special discounts for the audience under 30 years of age, students, unemployed and large families.

On 6 September the Auditorium’s Chamber Hall welcomes a journey through five centuries of history of fantasies for the keyboard

The Auditorio de Tenerife is a cultural venue linked to the Department of Culture of the Tenerife Island Council that is managed by its island's Minister of Culture, Enrique Arriaga. The Chamber Music Cycle begins with the concert Fantasías, carried out by the acclaimed French pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard. The performance takes place on Tuesday, 6 September at 7.30 p.m. in the Chamber Hall.

Fantasias is a performance that explores five centuries of history with a musical genre and a variety of forms, imbued by its distinctive free nature. Throughout the history of music, fantasia has been the musical genre par excellence in which composers have found the structural refuge enabling them to have maximum freedom in terms of organisation and the perfect mechanism for giving free rein to their creativity.

In this performance, the pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard presents a journey through the world of fantasia for the keyboard, from the 16^th and early 17^th century, with the fantasia of the Dutch composer Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck. His work encompasses the period from the end of the Renaissance and the early baroque period, to the Fantasy on Iambic Rhythm for piano composed in 1985 by the British composer George Benjamin. There is also room for the Russian composer Andrei Volkonsky who composed Musica stricta in 1957, a fantasia piece of great historical importance for Russian music, as it was the first to use the twelve-tone technique.

The performance had to include three of the most important fantasy by Mozart. His extraordinary improvisational genius is further enhanced by language that is as free as it is bold. Continuing with classicism, there is also a performance of the second of the sons of J. S. Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel, with his Fantasia for piano, full of colour and dynamism, and L. van Beethoven with his Fantasia op. 77.

Widely acclaimed as a key figure in the music of our time, Pierre-Laurent Aimard has had close collaborations with many leading composers including György Ligeti, Karlheinz Stockhausen, George Benjamin, Pierre Boulez and Oliver Messiaen.

Aimard begins the 2022/2023 season by receiving Denmark's most prominent music award, the Leonie Sonning Music Prize 2022, which will be celebrated in a series of concerts with the Royal Danish Orchestra/Cambreling and recitals in Copenhagen and Aarhus. Elsewhere, he works closely with leading orchestras and conductors across Europe. At the same time, he is recording Bartók's complete piano concertos with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Esa-Pekka Salonen, to return afterwards to the Los Angeles Philharmonic for Beethoven's Piano Concerto No.4.

Pierre-Laurent Aimard will stay longer on the island to participate as a guest soloist in the opening concert of the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra season. The show takes place on 9 September at the Symphony Hall at 7:30 pm and will be conducted by the director Marta Gardolinska.

Aimard's recent seasons have included the successful release on CD of Beethoven's Große Sonate für das Hammerklavier (Hammerklavier Sonata) and Eroica Variations for Pentatone, as well as Messiaen's opus magnum Catalogue d'oiseaux which was honoured with multiple awards including the prestigious German music critic's award "Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik".

Tickets for the piano concert are available on the website www.auditoriodetenerife.com, at the auditorium's box office or by dialling the phone number 902 317 327 from Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The tickets can be purchased at a single price of €15. Check the special discounts for the audience under 30 years of age, students, unemployed, large families, opera subscription holders and holders of the TEN+JUB and TEN+DIS cards issued by the Tenerife Island Council.

Other objectives involve integrating other artistic languages associated with literature, using gestures and the voice through the use of poetic and narrative texts as dramatic expression. Lastly, the aim is for pupils to discover authors and their texts while analysing their structure.

Between September and December, the stages of the Auditorio de Tenerife and Espacio La Granja will host the proposals.

The Auditorio de Tenerife is presenting the FAM Autumn Programme.  Seven shows take place between September and December on the stages of this island building and at the Espacio La Granja of the Government of the Canary Islands. All the information and tickets are now available on www.famtenerife.com.

The first event takes place on 17 September with two shows, 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., at the Chamber Hall but with a limited capacity as TRES de Ballet Triádico, by Taiat Dansa, will take place within the mechanism that the company itself has designed, a kind of a large white ball inside which the audience sits on cushions.

The next event with dance takes place outside the Auditorio de Tenerife at 7:00 p.m. with the proposal by the Catalan dancer Magí Serra and the Slovenian dancer Anamaria Klajnšček. Cossoc is a dance duet, a hypnotic choreography which displays the complexity and simplicity of a relationship.

On 30 September at 8:00 p.m., Espacio La Granja is hosting one of the shows of FAM Autumn, the solo The very last northern white rhino, by Gaston Core. Performed by the dancer Oulouy, this piece emerged out of the news of the death of the last northern white rhino, leaving a mother and its daughter as the last members of its species, with no chance of continuing.

On 21 October at 7:30 p.m. in the Castillo Hall at the Auditorio de Tenerife, we will witness  Parece nada, the stage project of Guillermo Weickert. Based on an attempt to place the organ of perception (the eyes) as the perceived object (viewed), he proposes an exercise of taking another look at the stage, those who inhabit it and their movements as a testing ground.

The family proposal of the programme is Ehuna, of Teatro Paraíso, and it will take place on 29 October at 5:00 p.m. at the Chamber Hall, a creation for young children (recommended for children aged between 1 and 5) which explores the way that the body is linked to movement through textiles, fabrics and clothing.

On 19 November at 7:30 p.m., the Gestring sisters will bring their  A muerte to the Castillo Hall of the Auditorium. The creators, along with David Climent, have devised a show whose title is presented as a slogan, as a form of life and as a declaration of intent for any show.

Lastly, Poliana Lima is bringing a female dancer troupe for her show Las cosas se mueven pero no dicen nada, a piece that is based on the idea of permanence and insistence and which evokes the processes of transformation and repetition of nature, without alluding to the extras on stage. It will be on 17 December at 7:30 p.m. at the Symphony Hall.

The association Tatrum stages this comedy at the Teatro Capital at 8:30 p.m., with free entry

Tomorrow [Thursday 21] the Teatro Capitol in Tacoronte hosts the comedy Bar Manolo, by the Amateur Theatre programme of the Auditorio de Tenerife, a cultural venue linked to the Department of Culture of Tenerife Island Council that is managed by its island's Minister of Culture, Enrique Arriaga. The proposal by the Tatrum theatre association begins at 8:30 p.m., with free admission until full capacity is reached.  

This piece of theatre presents Bar Manolo, a popular establishment as it is located just opposite the cemetery. Manolo, the bar owner, is a fan of crosswords and drinking. He is accompanied by Conchi, who is responsible for cleaning and cooking. Over the show, a wide variety of characters will come to the bar, which will be the setting of forbidden loves, vices, complicities, and madness. One day, things get out of control due to the death of an acquaintance and an accident that includes a coffin, an old woman whose memory is failing and a winning lottery number.

Nine performers from the Tatrum theatre association bring this proposal to life. José Manuel Sosa will be Manolo, the bar owner, while Yesica Rodríguez will be Conchi, the cook. Hugo Rodríguez will play Carlos the teacher and Mariana Rodríguez will be Silvia, mother of Leticia, who will be in the role of Yolanda Peña. Luisa and Paco are the workers at the funeral home, roles played by Olga Vanesa Curotto and José Luis Rubio, respectively. Lastly, Olgui González will become Blanca, the widow, and Pepe Damas will play Jesus, the plumber. 

The work Bar Manolo was created by Jean Pierre Martínez and directed by Irene Pérez. The costumes and stage design of this show, which involves the collaboration of the Council of Tacoronte, is provided by the theatre group itself.

The programme Teatro Aficionado (Amateur Theatre) is part of the Educational and Social Area of the Auditorio de Tenerife. This programme encourages interest in the hobby of theatre and the production of theatrical plays by the existing associations in Tenerife. It aims to stimulate matters such as communication, the exchange of ideas, and creativity amongst members who, in turn, belong to youth collectives, cultural collectives, women's collectives, and neighbourhood groups, among others.

Its main objectives are to promote a liking for theatre among the different social and cultural groups, as well as to promote the general public's attendance to, and love of, theatrical plays; likewise, to contribute to enriching the technical/artistic quality of amateur theatre groups and to create different work groups (directors, actors, costume designers, seamstresses, playwrights, scriptwriters, etc.).

Shows for schools and social shows, teaching guides and educational resources structure the proposal with 128 activities.

The Educational and Social Department of the Auditorio de Tenerife benefitted a total of 15,000 people in the season that has just ended. They participated in the 128 activities carried out by the project which involves the departments of Culture and Education of the Council of Tenerife. Shows for schools and social shows, classroom performances, meetings with teachers, teaching guides and educational resources structure the proposal.

The activities took place from November 2021 to June 2022, and in the first half of this period, the capacities were still constrained by measures against COVID-19. The programme Teatro en la Escuela (Theatre at School), which brings performing arts and music to classrooms all over the island, had 89 shows and 7,120 spectators. The ten educational concerts by the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra held at the Auditorio brought together 2,749 people. The school and public shows of Opera en familia (Family Opera) with Les contes d’Hoffmann (The Tales of Hoffmann) had 2,700 attendees.

The programmes Escuelas de Teatro (Theatre Schools), which holds theatre classes grouped according to age in 12 municipalities on the island, and Teatro Aficionado (Amateur Theatre), which promotes this art among cultural associations, brought together more than 300 people among the participants and the public. They attended the final displays or shows of both initiatives. The fifteen other education and family shows were enjoyed by 2,3031 people.

Last weekend, the Department of the Auditorio actively participated in the programme of the annual event of the Network of Organisers of Educational and Social Concerts (ROCE) to which the Auditorio de Tenerife belongs. It took place in San Sebastian under the slogan Leadership, diversity and innovation in management models.

The Educational and Social Department of the Auditorio de Tenerife was created with the aim of bringing arts and creative processes to all citizens, with a particular focus on school pupils and people at risk of social exclusion. One of its objectives is to nurture the relationship between artistic and cultural activities with the way in which they are conveyed to society and to encourage space for building a relationship between art and people. Its main idea is for art to make an unquestionable contribution to social wellbeing, the recognition of individual and collective identity, as well as training and the use of critical thinking needed for mature democratic social coexistence.

The National Music Prize and conductor Javier Perianes makes his début at the helm of the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra with works by Mozart and Beethoven

The Tenerife Symphony Orchestra closes the season with a concert under the direction of the pianist Javier Perianes. The programme covers a repertoire between the Classicism and the Romantic era with compositions by Mozart and Beethoven. This new gathering takes place on Friday [17t] at 7:30 p.m. at the Auditorio de Tenerife. The same concert takes place on Saturday [18th] at 8:30 p.m. in Santa Cruz de La Palma at the Teatro Circo de Marte.

This double concert starts with the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 9 in E-flat major, K. 271 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Dated in 1777, this is the first concert for a keyboard that the Austrian composer wrote to be premièred by a soloist different from himself. In this case, it was Victoire Jenamy. This work was considered a turning point in terms of originality and determination among the scores Mozart signed.  The composition notably includes intricate musical fragments that combine themes and phrasings, dialogues within the orchestra and its fusion with the soloist.

During the concert's second part, the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra will play the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37 by Ludwig Van Beethoven. The work was composed in 1800 and premièred in 1803 in the midst of his existential torment due to his increasing deafness. The piece is devoted to Louis Ferdinand, Prince of Prussia. It reflects the intensity and dramatic strength of the Pathétiquecomposed by Beethoven just a few months before. Its execution is very demanding with technical dynamics that finish with a triumphant closing, like a return to life.

Javier Perianes, National Music Prize in 2012 and Artist of the Year in 2019 by the ICMA, has conducted the most renowned orchestras all over the world. He has taken part at festivals like BBC Proms, Lucerne, La Roque d'Anthéron, Grafenegg, the Prague Spring International Music Festival, Ravello, San Sebastian, Santander, Granada, Vail, Blossom and Ravinia.

During the season 2021/2022 he made his début with the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, Sidney Symphony, Aurora Orchestra and Kristiansand Orchestra. He has also conducted the San Francisco Symphony and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra with Gustavo Gimeno. Likewise, he participated in the world première of the Piano and Orchestra concert by the Peruvian Composer Jimmy López.

In addition, Perianes has shown his double role as pianist and conductor with ensembles like the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris, Real Filharmonia de Galicia, Orquesta Ciudad de Granada, ADDA Simfónica or the Principality of Asturias Symphony Orchestra.

To his credit, he has collaborated with other conductors such as Daniel Barenboim, Charles Dutoit, Zubin Mehta, Gustavo Dudamel, Klaus Mäkelä, Sakari Oramo, Yuri Temirkanov, Gianandrea Noseda, Ivan Fischer, Gustavo Gimeno, Santtu-Matias Rouvali, Simone Young, Juanjo Mena, Vladimir Jurowski, David Afkham, François-Xavier Roth or Daniel Harding.

FMUC proposes for Tuesday ˋAround de soundˊ, a project by Joan Castelló inspired by the Fluxus art movement

The Auditorio de Tenerife hosts the programme of the Tenerife Contemporary Music Festival FMUC next week. The first concert, Around the sound, takes place on Tuesday [14^th] at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium's Chamber Hall with the percussionist Joan Castelló and the guitarist Iván Valdés. 

Around the sound......y el ruido en silencio se volvió (.... and the noise in silence came back) is a project by Castelló which he founded in 2020 and is focused on the study, performance and dissemination of the music of the 20^th and 21^stcenturies. The last concerts organised by the musician encouraged a closer collaboration with fellow composer, producer, guitarist and electroacoustic music expert Iván Valdés. 

It is a multifaceted show, created and developed by Castelló, inspired by the echoes of the Fluxus movement. This Latin word, fluxus, which means the flow, is movement in the visual arts and music and literature. It had its most active moment between the decades of the sixties and seventies in the 20^th century. It declared itself against the traditional art objects as goods and proclaimed itself as anti-art. 

Several of the artists of Fluxus were pioneers in the use of video and television devices in their works, resulting in the start of video art, video objects, video performances, happening and installations, including Wolf Vostell or Yoko Ono. Around the Sound is a contribution, through the eyes of 2021, to the wake left by this artistic movement.

This project, artistically directed by the composer Castelló, is a specific commission by the National Centre of Music Dissemination (CNDM) within the Spanish Ministry of Culture and Sport and was released for the first time at the Vostell de Malpartida Museum (Cáceres, Spain). According to Castelló, the work was composed through feeling, emotion and passion. 

"They are moods that have been reflected in the score, in fact, there are parts that were composed where it isn't necessary to play what is really written on the score, but rather they are performed and made on their own", the musician explains and assures that "this results in high performative content, therefore each performance of this work makes it unique and unrepeatable".

From a compositional perspective, this is music that is constantly evolving and developing. The rules that obliged composers to write something that they didn't feel had been ignored. There is no established composition system or rules although it contains reminiscences of the aforementioned Fluxus movement. It is a concerto that is devised and written for live performance, where the aim is to convey a sense of non-conformity towards society.

The tickets can be purchased at a single price of €15 on the website www.auditoriodetenerife.com, at the auditorium's box office or by dialling the phone number 902 317 327 from Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. There are special discounts for the audience under 30 years of age, students, unemployed and large families.

The next performances of FMUC continue on Wednesday [15^th] with Homenaje (Tribute), which pays tribute to the development of percussion teaching in Tenerife; on Thursday [16^th] with Afrocán, Première of new work by composer Francis Hernández; and on Friday [17^th] with the meeting of music composers which ends with a concert including works by these creators.
