PRESS RELEASE

21/01/2020 | Natalia Erice "We invite you to share our journey: photos, concerts and previously unseen audiovisual material". With this welcome message, and before bidding farewell to 2020, the musical ensemble La Tempestad began the celebration of its XX Anniversary on 30 December with a stimulating initiative which, under the name Encuentros Virtuales XX Aniversario, makes audiovisual material from the group, both published and unreleased, available to the public through a digital platform for which registration is free of charge: https://forms.gle/25mw6N6vehyL4pUu5. Each meeting will revolve around a different theme or composer, and the next one, on Sunday 24 January, will be devoted to Johann Sebastian Bach and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. It will be followed by Mozart (7 February), Haydn (21 February) and Brunetti & Lidón (7 March).

Aware that this is not the best moment for celebrations, the group directed by the Zaragoza-born harpsichordist Silvia Márquez did not want to give up marking its anniversary, which began on 30 December with a meeting devoted to Händel and continued on 10 January with a session dedicated to Scarlatti. True to its philosophy of establishing a close rapport with the audience, La Tempestad invites attendees to interact with the musicians themselves who have taken part in its various projects, as well as with others who have collaborated especially closely with the group and form part of its history: programmers, teachers, record producers and musicologists. On Sunday 24 January the meeting will be presided over by the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, the core of their CD Música a tres, and the Festival de Música Antigua Daroca y sus Cursos Internacionales, a platform and driving force for many specialist musicians on the Spanish scene, will take on particular prominence. Its founder and director, the Zaragoza-born maestro José Luis González Uriol, will take part in the meeting alongside the harpsichord maker Raúl Martín Sevillano and the musicians Alfonso Sebastián (harpsichord), Guillermo Peñalver (traverso), Antonio Clares (viola) and Silvia Márquez herself (harpsichord) as mistress of ceremonies. "We want to share with you a new initiative through which we can recall some of the most special moments for us over these 20 years", says La Tempestad, the group that was born in the autumn of 2000 and has since become a leading ensemble in the field of historically informed performance in Spain, recognised by critics and audiences alike with numerous awards, such as the IV Premios de la Música de la Región de Murcia, which they have just received for the CD "Brunetti & Lidón" (IBS Classical) and as an acknowledgement of their exemplary career, a journey they describe in these words: "The road has been a varied one, with great joys and also some sorrows and stumbles, but above all it has been a great learning experience, an encounter with wonderful music by well-known and lesser-known composers, and the opportunity to work with extraordinary musicians, professionals and colleagues"

It is also possible to purchase the CD corresponding to each theme or meeting at a considerable discount.
