The wind bands of La Orotava, Santiago del Teide, El Tanque and Icod de los Vinos offer their repertoire in the Chamber Hall

 

The new edition of the Primavera Musical cycle, organised since 2005 by the wind bands federation 'Federación Tinerfeña de Bandas de Música' with the collaboration of the Island Council, ends this Sunday, June 9. At 11.30 a.m., the Chamber Hall will host the performances by the wind ensembles Orotava, Santiago del Teide, Santísimo Cristo del Calvario (El Tanque) and José Manuel Cabrera Mejías (Icod de los Vinos).

The band Agrupación Musical Orotava, which is celebrating its 40 anniversaries, will perform two works, directed by Julio Castañeda Fumero: the pasodoble El Olmo, by Francisco José Martínez Gallego and Suite Popular Canaria, by Santiago Reig. With five movements, this work won in 1956 the Teobaldo Power Prize for Composition instituted by the Tenerife Island Council. It premiered on May 2 of the following year at the Teatro Guimerá under the direction of the composer.

The wind band 'Banda de Música Santiago del Teide', created in 1991, will be the second group to take to the stage of the Chamber Hall. Jorge Pujol Fumero will lead the group in performing their three pieces. The band will start with El baile de Luis Alonso, by Gerónimo Giménez, to continue with Mambo Jambo, de Pérez Prado, arranged by Nahoiro Iwai. To close their presence in this edition of Primavera Musical, the band will perform La sierra negra by Eduardo Brito.

José Eduardo Morales Meneses will conduct the ensemble 'Agrupación Musical Santísimo Cristo del Calvario'. The band from the northern municipality of El Tanque will perform Chuck Elledge's A Cecilia, Klaas van der Woude's Hello Dolly and Nahoiro Iwai's La Bamba in the Chamber Hall of the Auditorio de Tenerife.

The wind band 'Agrupación Musical XIX de Marzo' from San Juan de la Rambla will close the present edition of Primavera Musical. Conducted by Juan Alexis González Rodríguez, the band from Icod de los Vinos, which was formed in 2010, will perform three works from their repertoire: the Christian march Reige, by José María Ferrero Pastor, the soundtrack of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar, arranged by Willy Hautvast, and the pasodoble Bravo Mestre, by Ferrer Ferrán.
