PRESS RELEASE
04/02/2021 | Natalia EriceLA TEMPESTAD CONTINUES CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF ITS CAREER AND DEVOTES THE FOURTH VIRTUAL MEETING OF ITS RETROSPECTIVE TO MOZART. STARTING FROM ITS ALBUM MOZART INFRECUENTE, THE ENSEMBLE TRACES A JOURNEY THROUGH THE WORK OF THE AUSTRIAN GENIUS, IN WHICH THE AUDIENCE CAN INTERACT WITH THE MUSICIANS.
HÄNDEL, SCARLATTI and BACH have so far been the great musical figures honoured in this series of six virtual meetings, with which LA TEMPESTAD celebrates its XX Anniversary by inviting the public, free of charge, to share in its journey. Photos, concerts and previously unreleased audiovisual material are made available to the public in these meetings, shared with musicians of La Tempestad and renowned collaborators from the musical world. It is a stimulating initiative that began with the music of Händel on 30 December, under the name Encuentros Virtuales XX Aniversario on a digital platform, for which you can register free of charge at https://forms.gle/25mw6N6vehyL4pUu5. The next meeting will take place this Sunday, 7 February (7 pm), and is devoted to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It will be followed by Haydn (21 Feb.) and Brunetti & Lidón (7 March).
Aware that this is not the best time for celebrations, the ensemble led by the harpsichordist Silvia Márquez did not want to give up commemorating its XX Anniversary, remaining faithful to its philosophy of establishing a close rapport with the public. In this way, La Tempestad invites attendees to interact with the musicians themselves who have taken part in the different projects, as well as with others who have collaborated in a special way with the ensemble and form part of its history: programmers, teachers, record producers and musicologists. In this meeting devoted to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the protagonist of the CD Mozart infrecuente, the participants will be Fernando Rivera and Mª Pilar Fuertes, directors of Geaster and the record label Arsis; Joaquín Clares, maker of the short film Recording Mozart about the recording process of the album, which will be screened during the meeting; and, of course, the La Tempestad members Jorge Muñoz, Antonio Clares and Silvia Márquez, the latter two being the arrangers of the Sinfonía Júpiter included on the album and in the documentary.
"We want to share with you a new initiative through which to recall some of the most special moments for us in these 20 years", says La Tempestad, the ensemble that was born in the autumn of 2000 and has since become a leading name in historically informed performance in Spain, recognised by critics and audiences with numerous awards such as the IV Premios de la Música de la Región de Murcia, the most recent one they have received, for the CD "Brunetti & Lidón" (IBS Classical) and their exemplary career, a journey they describe in these words: "The road has been varied, 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 an opportunity to work with outstanding musicians, professionals and colleagues"
There is also the possibility of purchasing the CD corresponding to each theme or meeting at a considerable discount, in this case 'Mozart infrecuente'.
