PRESS RELEASE
Jávea. 19 July 2011
The Music in Summer Concerts at the Centre or the Cultural Programming in Jávea.
The international music festival Música a L’Estiu returns punctually to Jávea for its summer schedule of performances. As in the last 26 years, for a week the town hosts dozens of musicians from all over the world who come to perfect their techniques with a team of top level professors. Yesterday morning they began their classes at the Professional Conservatory, where about 70 students filled the classrooms of teachers like Thomas Indermhüle (oboe), Vicens Prats (flute), Jose Luis Estelles (clarinet), Will Sanders (horn), David Tomas Realp (bassoon) and the pianists Eriko Takezawa and Amedeo Salvato accompanying the wind instrument players.
The weeklong series of concerts will begin tonight, allowing the public to share in this elite seminar. According to the Councillor for Culture, Empar Bolufer, these concerts are a wonderful complement to the sun and beach, as much for the residents as for the visitors who are flocking to Jávea this week. Bolufer has stressed that the festival’s long history attest to its consolidation within the town, adding that the current concert venue, the plaza in front of the conservatory, is an ideal place for enjoying outdoor music. All the concerts begin at 10:30 pm and admission is free.
The festival will open on Tuesday with the performance the NUNA Wind Ensemble Quintet, accompanied by Amedeo Salvato on the piano. They will perform pieces by Foerster, Français or Strauss.
On Wednesday there will be a piano recital for four hands by Salvato and Eriko Takezawa, performing pieces by Bach, Handel, Mozart and Debussy.
On Thursday it will be the teachers, all of them concert soloists or music professors in Northern European cities, who will demonstrate their talents on stage. In their first evening as star performers they offer wind pieces, above all Baroque, and other pieces such as the wind version of Strauss’ Die Fledermaus.
On Friday the teachers will also give a second recital with a programme yet to be determined, this time accompanied by the piano. As always, the students of the international course will close the festival with a repertoire to be chosen during these master classes.
Festival director, Thomas Indermühle, explained that the students in these courses are experienced performers, coming from over 15 countries around the world to work on the techniques they find most difficult. At the same time they are able to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Jávea. Indermühle pointed out that since its beginnings, many musicians who today are soloists in important symphony orchestras, are professors in the summer courses, as in the case of Jose Luis Estelles of Valencia.
