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. On Saturday [27] at 4:00 p.m. it will offer the regional phase (Canary Islands) of the 20º ‘Intercentros Melómano’ contest (professional category). The free tickets to enjoy the live contest between these young musicians are available at www.auditoriodetenerife.com.

Eight students of several instrumental specialities will participate in these auditions. They have studied clarinet, trombone, flute, tuba, oboe, piano and percussion in the professional conservatories of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The performances last a maximum of 15 minutes and the musicians can play a free repertoire. The jury is made up of Gregorio Gutiérrez Hernández, Francisco Martínez Ramos and Miguel Ángel Linares Pineda. After the performances, they will make their decisions public.

The first regional musician to be classified will represent the Canary Islands during the final phase of Intercentros Melómano. The national contest takes place on 4 December 2021 in Alicante (Auditorio de la Diputación). During this final phase, the 17 regional representatives will participate, and the winner will be awarded the following prize: a concert tour throughout Spain including solo recitals and concerts with symphony orchestras, such as the one offered by the Orquesta Metropolitana, Madrid or the Joven Orquesta Sinfónica of Granada. 

‘Intercentros Melómano’ is an initiative created by the Fundación Orfeo which was constituted in the year 2002. Its aim is to encourage the active participation of music conservatory students in professional competitions. The event is focused on a practical experience for the musicians. It gives them the chance to face an audience and a jury to assess their performance, and not just their technical skills.
