The concert, conducted by José Luis Gómez Ríos and featuring pianist Simon Trpčeski as soloist, will take place tomorrow, Friday 13 December

 

Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake and Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 1 in D Minor complete a programme whose expectation has managed to sell out all the seats for this event, which will take place this Friday (13 May), at 7:30 p.m. in the Auditorio de Tenerife.

The Sinfónica de Tenerife will share the stage with pianist Simon Trpčeski, who has launched onto the international stage 20 years ago as a BBC New Generation Artist and who has collaborated with over a hundred orchestras on four continents, as well as having worked with conductors such as Lorin Maazel, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Marin Alsop, Gustavo Dudamel, Cristian Măcelaru, Gianandrea Noseda, and Vasily Petrenko, among others.

Maestro Gómez Ríos, a former violinist in the Sinfónica de Tenerife, has already conducted this orchestra in April this year. Awarded first prize in the Sir Georg Solti International Conducting Competition in 2010, Gómez Ríos was subsequently appointed Assistant Conductor of the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra. Before being appointed as Musical Director of the Tucson Symphony Orchestra, he was the Principal Conductor of the 1813 Teatro Sociale di Como Orchestra.
