This Saturday's concert will also feature a performance by the band of the Fuerteventura Island School.

 

The Auditorio de Tenerife hosts on Saturday [27th], at 6:00 p.m. in the Chamber Hall a concert by pupils of the Professional Music Conservatoire (CPM) of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The ensembles participating in this event are the orchestra and band of the 2nd Cycle of Professional Training at the CPM and, as a special guest, the band of the Fuerteventura Island School. Entry is free until total capacity is reached.

Through these activities, the CPM of Santa Cruz de Tenerife encourages pupils to participate outside the school environment. This concert aims to show the level and work carried out by the students and teachers of the centre's different specialities and subjects and to create musical links with other musical institutions, in this case, with the Island School of Music of Fuerteventura.

The second cycle orchestra of the CPM of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, formed by thirty musicians, was created to implement the orchestra subject, which, aside from giving students a musical education, also taught how a musician works within the orchestra.

For this event, the second-cycle orchestra of the CPM of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, a group of thirty musicians, will be performing adaptations for a string and percussion orchestra. They will showcase two movements from symphonies by the composers Georges Bizet and Antonín Dvorak, arranged specifically for a youth orchestra by Jeff Manookian. As a surprise element, they will also present a piece from the mid-20th century, featuring unusual instrumentation, which beautifully embodies the English verb "to play" in its double sense: to play an instrument and to play with it.

The 2nd cycle music group is presenting a programme that includes the overture Centuria, followed by the symphonic poem Cassiopeia by the composer Carlos Marques, inspired by Greek mythology. Then, it will be followed by the medley by the rock group Deep Purple and will conclude by adding a touch of colour to the work Copacabana in an arrangement by the maestro Nahoiro Iwai.

The 2nd cycle music group, led by Javier Llopis, is a collaborative effort between 75 3rd—and 4th-year students from Professional Music Teaching. Its annual projects notably include concerts at the conservatoire and in other halls on our island. Recently, it performed at the Training and Conference Centre of Fuerteventura in an exchange educational project with the band of the Island Music School, which is returning the visit with this event.

Thirty musicians form the band from Fuerteventura. Some members are students from the Island School of Music and other former students who want to continue participating in this amateur group that tries to tackle the repertoire of more contemporary bands without forgetting about traditional music. It participates in the concerts that the school regularly organises and collaborates with other public and private entities in various events. Javier Santos currently leads it.
