Tertúlia del Portal

Last December 13th we participated in the symposium-concert about chamber music, organized by "Tertúlia del Portal" Cultural Association, from Almassora, and Maestro Pérez Llopis acted as host and moderator. We performed the following works:

Coral en forma de fuga                                      G. F. Haendel

La Précieuse                                                          F. Kreisler

Concierto en Do M RV425                               A. Vivaldi

Preludio y Fuga nº 12                                         J. S. Bach

Aria de la Suite en Re                                          J. S. Bach

Tango op. 165 nº2                                                I. Albéniz

Santa Cecilia (canon)                                           A. S. Pérez Llopis

Sonata en la m                                                        J. B. Loeillet

Out of program we also played the nocturne Almassora La Vella, by Pérez Llopis.

Since 1881, and always on alternative Mondays, the "Tertúlia" transforms the Farmer's Hall of CaixAlmassora in a forum for information and debate, discussing about the most assorted items and allowing an interesting exchange of experiences and opinions.

We would like to express our admiration for the cultural task developed by "Tertúlia del Portal", and we highly appreciate the splendid welcome, both from the usual components of the "Tertúlia" and also from who came only to listen this musical evening.

Tribute to Maestro Pérez Llopis

     Last October 23 we took part in a tribute concert to Maestro Antonio Perez Llopis, for his 30 years leading the Orquesta Laudística Daniel Fortea, which is the director and founder. In the same concert also perfomed guitarist Ana M. Archilés, the group Els Llauradors and the Orquesta Laudística Daniel Fortea itself.

     The works chosen for the concert were the Prelude and Fugue Nº 12 from Johan Sebastian Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier, and the Sonata in A m by Jean Baptiste Loeillet.

     We were very honored to participate in the tribute to the person who allowed us to fell the music in such a deep way.
