THE New Year is just a month away and to ring it I with style, why not book your seats now to see and hear Torrevieja Symphony Orchestra ‘Ars Aetheria’, who will perform on Sunday, January 2, 2011, at 12:00 Noon in the Municipal Auditorium-Theatre. Their New Year Gala Concert has been a long time in preparation and this newest addition to the musical groups in Torrevieja promises something just that little different.
The Concert Orchestra will present a challenging, symphonic program, comprising such varied pieces as the Blue Danube Waltz, Emperor Suite, Swan Lake, Nutcracker, Pizzicato Polka, Tristch-Tratsch-Polka, Under Thunder and lightning plus excerpts from the opera Carmen de Bizet . An interesting mix of well known classical music plus others that we all will recognise.
Torrevieja’s Councillor for Festivities, Eduardo Dolon, accompanied by the president of the Ars Aetheria, Pelayo Mellado, and the orchestra's director, Francisco Sánchez, presented this new musical project, which begins with a clear intention to continue in this realm for years to come. This first concert will feature concertmaster Rafael Carrasco Tome (Member of the National Youth Orchestra of Spain) and as first cellist
Mariano Melguizo (Cello professor of Music Conservatory of Murcia and founder of the Orchestra Spanish Radio-Television RTVE-). The orchestra is composed of (no pun intended) 64 musicians and teachers.
Tickets for this noon performance, can be purchased through Servicam or at the Theatre Box office, Tuesday to Friday, during office hours from 11:00 to 13:00 hours. Tickets are priced at €12:00 (rows 2 to 11) and €10:00 euros (rows 12 to 24). A very special and different way to bring in the New Year.
