SM La Nova celebrates its 11th anniversary this Saturday with a tribute concert to Rafael Doménech

The Societat Musical La Nova is celebrating its anniversary next Saturday, May 6, at 7:00 p.m. in the auditorium of the cultural center with a tribute concert to the local musician and composer Rafael Domenech. A concert that is part of the XXVIII Campanya Música als Pobles and with which "the passion for music of the 'Mestre' is highlighted, with which several generations of local musicians began in this artistic discipline", as has been highlighted by the Councilor for Culture, Jaime Jesús Pérez.

Under the baton of Francisco José Rovira Peretó, La Nova will offer a concert in two parts. Both will open with 'pasodobles' composed by Rafael Doménech, 'Francisco Antón Picorro' and 'Embrujo de Anna', to which will be added 'Raphsody for Alto Saxophone' by André Waigneim; 'Oblivion' by Astor Piazzolla; 'Palindromia Flamenca' by Antonio Ruda Peco; and 'Highlights from Chess' by Ulvaes and Andersson.

To close the program, the band will perform the pasodoble that bears the honoree's name and was composed in 2007 by the director of SM La Nova.

The mayor of Culture has invited the public "to participate in this tribute to Rafael Doménech, thus showing him the affection for Benidorm, and also to accompany SM La Nova on its 11th anniversary."
