‘La danse du soleilˊ is staged with 31 moving musicians and two dancers, under the direction of David Greilsammer.
The Auditorio de Tenerife is a cultural space linked to the Department of Culture of Tenerife Island Council that is managed by the island's Minister of Culture, Enrique Arriaga. The Auditorio de Tenerife presents La danse du soleil, a show by Geneva Camerata. The Swiss orchestra performs an original staging of two well-known works by Mozart and Lully with the Spanish dancers Juan Kruz Díaz de Garaio Esnaola and Martí Corbera. It takes place on Monday [2 May] at 6:00 pm at the Symphony Hall.
Chosen by the New York Times as "one of the best performances in the world of classical music", La danse du soleilpresents a hypnotic and amazing journey between music and dance, revealing an ode to life, hope, loss and love.
On stage, thirty-one musicians directed by the Israeli David Greilsammer move while they play masterpieces alongside choreography by the renowned Díaz de Garaio Esnaola. Together with Martí Corbera, they will perform an unforgettable, impressive and emotive show. This show has rarely been seen in its version with two dancers, and the Tenerife date is one of the special ones on this tour.
On a musical level, the programme that the orchestra will perform will be formed by an orchestral suite from Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme by Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632-1687) and by the popular Symphony No. 40 in G minor by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), which will close the show after a short interlude.
Audacious, innovative and adventurous, the Geneva Camerata is formed by the most brilliant and creative soloists of the young generation. Praised by the press as one of the world's most captivating and unique groups, Geneva Camerata performs music from all periods and of all styles, from baroque to contemporary, electronic, jazz, rock and world music. It also creates eclectic multidisciplinary projects that bring together music, dance, theatre and visual arts.
David Greilsammer, conductor and pianist, is known for his eclectic and fascinating programmes as well as his Mozartian repertoire. He is considered one of today's most daring and adventurous classical artists.
The Basque choreographer, dancer, composer and director Juan Kruz Díaz de Garaio Esnaola shows in his work his interest in combining his musical and dance training. He relentlessly explores the relationship between both disciplines and questions the role and integration of music in the theatrical-performance event.
Barcelona performer Martí Corbera has danced on some of the world's most important stages and festivals. Corbera's intense collaboration with Díaz de Garaio Esnaola began at the Bienal de Flamenco in Seville. Since then, both artists have collaborated on several contemporary dance projects, such as the work Flamencolorquiano, presented at the Granada Festival 2019.

This performance is starred by the US-Singer Madeline Bell and her Quartet, preceded by the Norwegian pianist Norvald Dahl.
The Auditorio de Tenerife is 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. On Saturday [30th] at 07.30 p.m. it celebrates the International Jazz Day with a concert in the Chamber Hall by the Madeline Bell Quartet, preceded by the pianist Norvald Dahl.
Madeline Bell, originally from New Jersey, USA, began her love affair with music in the choir of her church, always keeping with the influence of gospel. She began to tour when she was young and one musical -Black Christmas- brought her to Europe, where she decided to stay. In London during the late sixties, she started collaborating with the popular singer Dusty Springfield and, in very little time, she managed to record solo and become appreciated by many of the great British pop and rock stars of the time.
With her velvety voice, she was the leader of the mythical band Blue Mink, in which the guitarist Alan Parker played along with bassist Herby Flowers and percussionist Ray Cooper - and her list of collaborations as a backing vocalist on different artists' albums is very extensive, ranging from the Stones themselves to Joe Cocker, John Lennon, Stevie Wonder, Donna Summer or Elton John. She is currently working with some of the best European big bands and is a frequent patron of the mythical Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club of London.
The Madeline Bell Quartet is made up of the American singer whose name it bears, Andrés Litwin on the drums, Francis Posé on the double bass, and David Lenker on the piano. The saxophonist from Tenerife Kike Perdomo will play as a guest artist.
The Norwegian piano player and composer Norvald Dahl is making his way to the international jazz scene with his solo piano- project Flying High. His music, influenced by contemporary composers and Norwegian folk music, is experimental, melodic, expressive and at times hypnotic. On this occasion, Dahl will present some of his solo material in addition to some freshly composed music! There will also be a small duo session with Perdomo.
Dahl grew up in a family surrounded with folk music. His grandfather, a black smith and a fiddler, was also a composer. At the age of five, Dahl started improvising on the piano. He soon took up classical training, but after a few years he found blues, jazz, and improvisation more to his liking. Dahl has been involved in many international projects, being his latest project the piano trio Pandemic Solution he recently toured with in Norway.
In November 2011, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) officially designated 30 April as International Jazz Day. It wanted to highlight jazz and its diplomatic function of bringing people together in all corners of the world. Thousands of concerts are held on this day in honour of this charismatic musical genre, which every year is joined by the concert programmed in the Auditorio de Tenerife.
Tickets can be purchased at a general price of 10 Euros 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.

El trompetista venezolano participará en el concierto de este viernes, que será dirigido por Christian Vásquez
La Sinfónica de Tenerife, proyecto que depende del área de Cultura del Cabildo que gestiona el consejero Enrique Arriaga, afronta esta semana el estreno mundial de la obra Albares, concerto para fliscorno y orquesta, del venezolano Pacho Flores, que estará en la isla como solista de esta pieza acompañando a la formación del Cabildo en un programa que, bajo la dirección de su compatriota Christian Vásquez, también incluye Danzas latinas, concierto para trompeta y orquesta, de Efraín Oscher, y la Sinfonía nº5, de Piotr Chaikovski. La cita será este viernes [día 29] a las 19:30 horas en la Sala Sinfónica.
Para la interpretación de Albares, Flores recurre a una familia de fliscornos con el siguiente desarrollo que explica el compositor en el programa del concierto. “Para el primer movimiento [Bambuco en Valencia] he utilizado un fliscorno en Do. Aquí he querido representar un bambuco, baile muy popular en Colombia y los Andes venezolanos. Para el segundo [Milonga en Mislata] he utilizado un fliscorno grave en La, con una nostálgica milonga, género maravilloso de perfume rioplatense, típico en Argentina y Uruguay. El tercer movimiento [Periquera en Navajas] es una periquera, una suerte de joropo típico de los llanos venezolanos y parte de los llanos colombianos, que representa alegría y fiesta”.
Pacho Flores también será el protagonista en la primera pieza del concierto, compuesta por el uruguayo Efraín Oscher (Montevideo, 1974), quien la creó para celebrar sus diez años de colaboración con el trompetista venezolano. Esta obra fue un encargo realizado por la Real Filharmonía de Galicia que se estrenó en noviembre de 2019 en Santiago de Compostela y que interpreta por primera vez la Sinfónica de Tenerife.
La obra está compuesta de cinco danzas y cada una de ellas es ejecutada con un instrumento distinto, alguno construido especialmente para Flores: Bomba de Puerto Rico con corneta en mi bemol, Zamba de Argentina con fliscorno, Samba de Brasil con trompeta en do, Bembé de Cuba con trompeta en re y Milonga del Uruguay con corneta en fa.
La segunda parte del concierto de este viernes se dedica a la Sinfonía nº5 de Chaikovski, una obra que, junto a la Sexta -conocida como la Patética- constituyen lo mejor del pensamiento sinfónico del compositor. La Quinta transmite una cierta tendencia a una blanda sensualidad y en ella el autor se posiciona como el portavoz del mal del siglo, del pesimismo romántico que suaviza con fases más cordiales en los que se manifiesta la influencia del italianismo musical.
El solista en el concierto de esta semana de la Sinfónica de Tenerife ha obtenido el primer premio de los concursos Maurice André, Philip Jones y Cittá di Porcia. Formado en “El Sistema”, Pacho Flores ha ofrecido recitales en Carnegie Hall, Sala Pleyel de París o Opera City de Tokio. Como miembro fundador del Quinteto de Metales Simón Bolívar ha participado en numerosas giras por Europa, Sudamérica, Estados Unidos y Japón.
Actúa regularmente con orquestas como la Arctic Philharmonic, Philharmonie Salzburg, Sinfonieorchester Basel, Tucson Symphony, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Orquesta de Stavanger, Orquesta NHK de Japón, Nacional de México, Filarmónica de Buenos Aires, San Diego Symphony, Nacional de la Radio de Polonia, Sinfónica del Estado de São Paulo, ORTVE, Real Filharmonía de Galicia y Simón Bolívar de Venezuela.
Trabajó con maestros como Claudio Abbado, Simon Rattle, Seiji Ozawa, Giuseppe Sinopoli, Frühbeck de Burgos, Gustavo Dudamel o Hernández-Silva. Es director fundador de la Academia Latinoamericana de Trompeta e invitado frecuente de conservatorios de todo el mundo, así como jurado invitado en concursos internacionales.
Christian Vásquez es director musical de la Orquesta Sinfónica Teresa Carreño de Venezuela, a la que dirigió en una notable gira por Europa que los llevó a Londres, Lisboa, Toulouse, Múnich, Estocolmo y Estambul. Ha sido director titular de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Stavanger entre 2013 y 2019 y principal director invitado de la Het Gelders Orkest de 2015 a 2020, cargo que inició con un programa latino en una gira por los Países Bajos.
Tras su debut con la Orquesta Sinfónica de Gävle en octubre de 2009, Christian Vásquez fue nombrado su principal director invitado entre 2010 y 2013. Ha trabajado con la Philharmonia Orchestra, Residentie Orkest, Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Sinfónica de la Radio de Viena, Camerata de Salzburgo, Sinfónica Estatal de Rusia, Filarmónica de Tokyo o Sinfónica de Singapur. En Norteamérica ha dirigido la National Arts Centre Orchestra (Ottawa) y la Filarmónica de Los Ángeles, durante su participación en el Young Artist Fellowship Programme.

Dieciocho colectivos participan en esta propuesta familiar de Auditorio de Tenerife, que se abre al público este fin de semana
El Auditorio de Tenerife acogió hoy la función socioeducativa de la ópera en familia Les contes d’Hoffmann (Los cuentos de Hoffmann), que reunió a más de 850 personas de dieciocho colectivos en la Sala Sinfónica, escenario que se transformó en un circo. Esta actividad, que constituye un ensayo general de las funciones que ofrecerán al público el sábado y el domingo, se incluye dentro de la propuesta de Ópera de Tenerife, que en esta ocasión recupera la obra de Jacques Offenbach adaptada para toda la familia e ideal para los adultos que quieran introducirse en el mundo de la lírica.
Los escolares que han participado en esta actividad proceden de las Escuelas Pías, los CEIP Tomé Cano, San Fernando y Antonio del Valle Menéndez, y los IES El Sobradillo, Tomás de Iriarte, Viera y Clavijo, El Tanque, San Andrés, Domingo Pérez Minik, Canarias, Teobaldo Power, Magallanes, Benito Pérez Armas y La Guancha. También asistieron delegaciones procedentes del Centro de Educación para Adultos Farola de Santa Cruz, del Centro Ocupacional Andrés Llarena y el CAMP La Cuesta.
Los alumnos que proceden de los ciclos de sonido, iluminación y realización del IES La Guancha asistieron después de la función a una charla por parte del equipo técnico de Ópera de Tenerife y a una visita práctica que les ha acercado a sus futuras profesiones.
Todos estos colectivos recibieron previamente una guía didáctica elaborada por el Área Educativa y Social de Auditorio de Tenerife, que le permitió a los asistentes prepararse y acercarse a los detalles de esta versión adaptada para todo tipo de públicos que transforma a Hoffmann en un maestro de ceremonias circense que repasa todas las historias rocambolescas que ha vivido en el pasado y que le llevan a plantearse el cierre del negocio. Una hechicera hechizada, una muñeca fuera de control y una equilibrista insegura protagonizan estos cuentos en los que un ser maligno se las apaña para fastidiar al señor Hoffmann. Durante la función, los asistentes recibieron unas gafas para ver en tres dimensiones.
Esta propuesta de Les contes d’Hoffmann es una reposición de esta producción de Auditorio de Tenerife estrenada en 2017, que vuelve con la dirección musical de Rubén Díez, al frente de la Sinfónica de Tenerife, y Raúl Vázquez en la dirección de escena y escenografía. El equipo del artífice de esta adaptación se completa con un colorido vestuario que corre a cargo de Leo Martínez y una mágica iluminación que lleva la firma de Miguel Ponce.
Compositor prolífico, Offenbach llegó a escribir 102 obras escénicas, entre las que sobresale Les contes d’Hoffmann, que le ocupó los últimos años de su vida sin poder verla concluida. Se basó para ella en la obra Les contes fantastiques d'Hoffmann que habían escrito el que luego sería libretista de la ópera, Jules Barbier, y el escritor con el que firmó a cuatro manos tantos libretos, Michel Carré.
El elenco lo integran las sopranos Maria Rita Combattelli, Elvira Padrino e Inés Lorans, la mezzosoprano Daniela Prado, el barítono Jacobo Ochoa y los tenores César Arrieta y David Astorga, este último en el papel de Hoffmann.

Two versions of this medieval sequence take place in the Chamber Hall on the 21st of April at 7:30 p.m.
The Auditorio de Tenerife is a cultural venue linked to the Department of Culture of Tenerife Island's Council that is managed by its island's Minister of Culture, Enrique Arriaga. Next week the venue has programmed the concert De Umbrarum (From the shadows) to pay tribute to Stabat Mater. The chamber ensemble El Afecto Ilustrado, the countertenor Carlos Mena and the soprano Jone Martínez, both from the Basque country, feature this Thursday, the 21st of April at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium’s Chamber Hall.
This program is formed by two works that are intimately linked to one another. They deal with the sorrow associated with the Virgin Mary at the Passion and Death of her son, following the pattern of the very famous medieval sequence of the Stabat Mater Dolorosa. The works are Stabat Mater by Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725) and the one by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710-1736). These two works follow one another immediately on a timeline and were commissioned by the same body, the Confraternità dei Cavalieri di San Luigi di Palazzo.
This historical fact turns the programme into a special gathering of both works in the form of an altarpiece, which is an opportunity to address two spiritual meditations on a single theme, with the same aim, and with rhetorical devices that are similar but not the same. These works are composed by two different characters creating a musical discourse on one of the Marian passages that have given rise to the most artistic activity over time.
The Stabat Mater genre led to the ardent artistic imagination of the Baroque period, not only in music but also in almost all artistic disciplines. Scarlatti (1660-1725) composed his famous work in 1724, a year before his death, for the Friday of Sorrows celebrations in Naples. The Sicilian author proposes eighteen movements with impeccable rhetoric. We are dealing with a piece devised for two singers, two violins and basso continuo, with simple lines, but enormous expressive power.
Pergolesi (1710-1736) composed his famous Stabat Mater a few months before his death, as a commission from the same Neapolitan brotherhood to replace that of Scarlatti, which was considered too outdated for the masses devoted to Our Lady of Sorrows. The work immediately became so famous that a large number of creators such as Johann Sebastian Bach produced adaptations or used its themes as parts or bases for new compositions.
Figures such as Jean Jacques Rousseau offered glowing praise for its famous beginning, and it soon became the great musical success of its time, despite the short life of its creator. By adding a viola part to the ensemble presented by Scarlatti, the Stabat Mater by Pergolesi attains exquisite expressiveness and drama, which are a true paradigm of the rhetorical mechanism of the era. Structured around only 12 movements, the level of lyricism is truly spectacular.
El Afecto Ilustrado was created in 2012, devised as an innovative and versatile chamber group, with the philosophy of presenting and bringing the public closer to a historically informed performance of the repertoire encompassing the early Baroque and the earliest Romantic era, in a close and tangible way. The ensemble members are Adrián Linares, concertmaster and direction; Vadym Makarenko, baroque violin; Víctor Gil, baroque viola; Diego Armando Pérez, baroque violoncello; Ventura Rico, violone; Carlos Oramas, theorbo, and Raquel García, organ.
The tickets can be purchased on the website www.auditoriodetenerife.com, at the Auditorium's box office located in the building’s hall 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 and by dialling the phone number 902 317 327 during the same schedules. There are special discounts for the audience under 30 years of age, students, unemployed and large families.

The performances take place next week
The Auditorio de Tenerife is a cultural venue linked to the Department of Culture of Tenerife Island's Council that is managed by its island's Minister of Culture, Enrique Arriaga. Now, it presents Les contes d'Hoffmann (The Tales of Hoffmann). The Symphony Hall will be transformed into a large and colourful circus, offering two performances of this opera by Jacques Offenbach on the 23rd and 24th of April. It is adapted for all audiences and is ideal for those adults who want to get introduced to the world of opera.
This adapted version for all audiences transforms Hoffmann into a circus ringmaster who looks back at all the far-fetched stories he has experienced in the past and that have led him to consider closing the business. A bewitched witch, a doll that is out of control and an unsteady tightrope walker star in these stories where an evil force is working to torment Mr Hoffmann. This fun experience is completed by three-dimensional glasses that will be handed out to the audience.
Les contes d’Hoffmann is a revival of this production by the Auditorio de Tenerife which premièred in 2017. It returns with the musical direction of Rubén Díez, conducting the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra and Raúl Vázquez in charge of staging and scene design. The equipment to craft this adaptation is completed with colourful costumes by Leo Martínez and magical lighting provided by Miguel Ponce.
The prolific composer Offenbach wrote 102 stage works, notably including “The Tales of Hoffmann”, which he spent the last years of his life working on without being able to see the finished work. To do so, he based the project on the work Les contes fantastiques d'Hoffmann which was written by the man who would go on to become an opera librettist, Jules Barbier, and the writer with whom he wrote many librettos together, Michel Carré.
Hoffmann is none other than Ernst Theodore Amadeus, E. T. A., Hoffmann, one of the leading exponents of romanticism in German literature. Barbier and Carré chose three of the fairy tales by the Prussian writer relating to the pursuit of impossible love for the representation of work in the Odéon Theatre in Paris in 1851, which Offenbach had seen and which he drew inspiration from.
The cast will be led by the tenor David Astorga as Hoffmann. The sopranos Maria Rita Combattelli, Elvira Padrino and Inés Lorans, the mezzo-soprano Daniela Prado, the tenor César Arrieta and the baritone Jacobo Ochoa complete the list of singers who bring to life the fun characters surrounding the story of the protagonist.
Saturday's performance (23 April) takes place at 6:00 p.m., while Sunday's performance (24 April) is a morning session that starts at 12:00 noon. The tickets are sold at a general price of 10 Euro, a price to which special discounts for the unemployed (50%), large families (25%), season ticket holders (15%) and audience under 30 years of age (5 Euro) are applicable.
The tickets available on the website are already sold out. The last available tickets are on sale at the ticket office 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 or by dialling the phone number 902 317 327 during the same schedules. By purchasing tickets, you accept the measures implemented by the cultural centre to combat COVID-19, such as the correct use of masks. All of the measures, as well as the contingency plan certified by AENOR, can be consulted on the Auditorium's website.

La orquesta italiana estará dirigida por Ottavio Dantone y abordará un programa con obras de Vivaldi, Jommelli y Porpora
El Auditorio de Tenerife, espacio que depende del Área de Cultura del Cabildo que dirige el consejero Enrique Arriaga, programa un concierto de la Accademia Bizantina para el 22 de mayo a las 19:30 horas en la Sala Sinfónica. La orquesta italiana estará dirigida por Ottavio Dantone y contará con la voz de la contralto Delphine Galou, además de Alessandro Tampieri como concertino. Las entradas ya están a la venta.
El programa, Agitata, sacro e profano, se compone fundamentalmente de obras de Antonio Vivaldi, como el Salve Regina, y también incluye composiciones de Niccolò Jommelli y Nicola Antonio Giacinto Porpora.
La música de la Accademia, fundada en 1983 en Ravena (Italia), parte del origen de las propias reglas del lenguaje estilístico barroco: las investiga sin añadir, eliminar o transformar, apoyándose en los sonidos de los instrumentos antiguos. Este método interpretativo único comenzó en 1996 con el nombramiento de su director Ottavio Dantone, un verdadero experto en los códigos expresivos del Barroco.
Su sistema, forjado por la experiencia y un estudio filológico continuo, le ha permitido como orquesta abordar cualquier repertorio con conciencia y honestidad. Ser capaz de transmitir al público las auténticas intenciones del compositor es una baza inestimable que le ha valido a la Accademia Bizantina el reconocimiento y la colaboración nacional e internacional.
Cada interpretación de la Accademia Bizantina, que desde 2011 puede contar también con el prestigioso concertino Alessandro Tampieri, es un inesperado viaje en el tiempo, un equilibrio sin igual entre técnica, habilidad, rigor, cultura interpretativa, intuición y precisión estilística.
Ha recibido prestigiosos premios como el Diapason d'Or, Midem, Choc di Classica, Opus Klassik, Grammy Music Award y Gramophone Awards. Accademia Bizantina ha actuado en los teatros y festivales más renombrados del mundo.
Delphine Galou estudió Filosofía en La Sorbona al mismo tiempo, piano y canto. Se especializó en el repertorio barroco, colaborando con conjuntos como Balthasar Neumann (Thomas Hengelbrock), I Barocchisti (Diego Fasolis) y la propia Accademia Bizantina (Ottavio Dantone).
Galou es invitada regularmente por los teatros internacionales más importantes, como el Théâtre des Champs-Élysées o el Covent Garden en Londres. Ha interpretado los papeles de Rinaldo, Giulio Cesare, Orlando furioso, Orfeo, Zenobia, Bradamante, etc. Gracias a su recital con Dantone y la Accademia ganó el prestigioso Premio Gramophone en 2018.
Las entradas se pueden adquirir en la página web www.auditoriodetenerife.com, en la taquilla, situada en el hall del edificio, de lunes a viernes de 10:00 a 17:00 horas y sábados de 10:00 a 14:00 horas y de forma telefónica llamando al 902 317 327 en el mismo horario. Hay disponibles descuentos para menores de 30 años, estudiantes, desempleados y familias numerosas.

Víctor Pablo Pérez conducts a group in two events at the Cathedral of La Laguna and at the Auditorio de Tenerife
Sinfónica de Tenerife (Tenerife Symphony Orchestra) is a project of the Island Council’s Department of Culture which is directed by Enrique Arriaga. It tackles a double programme ahead of the Holy Week with sacred music that includes Biblical Songs, by Antonin Dvořák, and The Seven Words of Christ on the Cross, by Cesar Franck.
The first of the concerts will be on Thursday [7th], at 8:00 p.m., in the Cathedral of La Laguna and the second will be on Friday [8th], at 7:30 p.m., in the Auditorio de Tenerife, which also includes the work Adagio for strings, by Samuel Barber. The programmes will be performed under the direction of Víctor Pablo Pérez and will involve the participation as soloists of the soprano Raquel Lojendio, the tenor Airam Hernández, the baritone Josep-Ramon Olivé and the Reyes Bartlet choir group, led by José Híjar Polo.
The programme begins with Adagio for strings by the American Samuel Barber, created in 1938 using the second movement from his string quartet. Recurring work in cinema (Platoon, Oliver Stone) and in some of the most solemn tributes in our recent history, its approximately nine minutes levitate on a heartfelt melodic line where violins, violas and violoncellos share leading roles in a crescendo, before ending by slowly fading out into the five opening notes.
Biblical Songs, Op.99, is considered the culmination of the work devoted to the songs by Dvořák. Written in his mother tongue, based on the psalms of the Czech version of the Bible of Kralice from the 16th century, they were for their creator the best that he had composed in this field. On this occasion, the orchestra will be joined by the Tenerife-born soprano Raquel Lojendio, who returns to the season of the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra after four years.
The Seven Words of Christ on the Cross will add the finishing touch to this dual offer by the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra. It is a composition by Cesar Franck written in 1859, which coincided with the “dark period” of the Belgian author. The original manuscript – held in a private collection – was rediscovered one hundred years after being written and was premièred in 1977. Composed of seven songs preceded by a prologue, the three soloists, accompanied by the Reyes Bartlet Choir, will perform this work with simple harmonies and choir passages that create a spiritually beautiful ensemble, contrasting sorrowful laments with sections, mostly in a fast tempo, of anguish and anguish.
The maestro Víctor Pablo Pérez, an honorary conductor of the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra, will conduct the group in these two concerts where the public will once again be able to enjoy the voices of Raquel Lojendio, Airam Hernández and the Reyes Bartlet Choir. The new addition this time is the presence of the Catalan baritone Josep-Ramon Olivé, who will coincide for the first time with the orchestra and who has performed on stages such as the Palau de la Música Catalana, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Gran Teatre del Liceu, the Musikverein in Vienna and the Wigmore Hall in London.
Tickets can be purchased 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.

The concert takes place on Tuesday, the 5th of April at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium’s Chamber Hall
The Auditorio de Tenerife is a cultural venue linked to the Department of Culture of Tenerife Island Council that is managed by the island's Minister of Culture Enrique Arriaga. The venue has programmed a concert by the Canary Islands-born pianist Ainoa Padrón. The concert Croma includes works by Óscar Esplá, Olivier Messiaen and Manuel Bonnín and takes place on Tuesday the 5th of April at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium’s Chamber Hall.
This concert's programme features exceptional chromaticism thanks to three works for piano in an unexpected combination: Esplá, Messiaen and Bonnín, composers who seemingly are not related but who share an exuberant sound full of harmonic subtleties and unlikely melodies.
The Sonata Española (Spanish Sonata) by Óscar Esplá (from Levante) opens the concert with a nod to romanticism. This piece, from 1949 and dedicated to the memory of Chopin, combines a certain sense of chromaticism that is sometimes subtle and often amusing – almost brazen – with a unique intimacy in which references to the mazurka have a clearly French influence.
This brings us to the chromaticism of the pieces by Olivier Messiaen, a selection from the "Twenty Visions of the Infant Jesus" suite, from 1944. All of the tones previously proposed by Esplá are collected here vertically; Messiaen plays with them and prolongs them in time, emboldening the air with each chord.
Finally, a piece that brings together Esplá's introversion and the breadth of Messiaen: The Piano Sonata in E Minor by the Tenerife-born composer Manuel Bonnín. This is a piece from 1930 with a tremendously polyphonic language, complex in terms of the interweaving of each line but always honest in its development; a piece with no superfluous notes and where each and every one of them is part of the orchestral and dazzling vision for the piano.
Ainoa Padrón currently lives in Cologne, Germany, where she teaches co-repetition and piano accompanist for the Robert Schumann Hochschule für Musik in Düsseldorf. In terms of her concert activity, she combines vocal repertoire and solos with some of her most important performances, including tours around Europe with tenor Julian Prégardien, as well as Grieg's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra with the Junge Philharmonie of Neuwied.
Recipient of many prizes and awards in international competitions, she received the third prize, alongside tenor Javier Alonso, at the 2010 Hugo Wolf International Lied Competition in Stuttgart, the second prize with soprano Karola Pavone at the International Spoken Singing Contest in Sankt Augustin in 2015, first prize at the Rhein-Rhur Competition in 2017.

The comedy "Historias caóticas para cinco artistas desesperados" (Chaotic Stories for Five Desperate Artists) stages on Friday the 1st of April at 8:00 p.m. in the theatre Teatro Unión Tejina (La Laguna). The Teatro Aficionado (Amateur Theatre) programme by the Auditorio de Tenerife is organised under the Island Council's Culture Area, directed by Enrique Arriaga. It offers this new show through the Puro Teatro Association.
The piece Historias caóticas para cinco artistas desesperados was premièred in La Laguna in December 2021. It is made up of five short texts whose common theme is chaos. Each of the five stories is starred by two characters who in some way express their feelings at a specific moment in their lives. The actors that are part of the Association are A. Lidia Dorta, Jesús Patrón, Sonia Lutzardo, Glenda Suárez, and Nuria Neida.
During the first of the stories in this theatrical piece, two brothers find themselves in strange circumstances and realise that their lives have taken very different paths. In the second, a female painter has been hiding a great secret from her husband, but he hides an even greater one. A comedian who gets entangled in a mess thanks to an admirer is the theme of the third story. In the fourth story, a husband disappears and forces his wife to turn to a professional to search for him. And, lastly, the fifth story features the appearance of a mother who causes tremendous upheaval in her unstable daughter's life.
The admission to this show, recommended for adult audiences, is three Euros. The tickets can be purchased at LibreríaAldayo (C/ Manuel Hernández, 9, Tejina, La Laguna) or at the theatre's box office two hours before the show starts.
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, as well as 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 workgroups (directors, actors, costume designers, seamstresses, playwrights, scriptwriters, etc.).
