The concert puts an end to the events organized on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the society
Concert in honor of Santa Cecilia of the SM La Nova de Benidorm
La Nova Musical Society has celebrated this morning the traditional concert that, on the occasion of the festival of Santa Cecilia, offers to the people of Benidorm every year. The Cultural Center auditorium, with its 400 seats, has become too small. Dozens of people have not been able to attend the event once the capacity is complete.
The mayor of Benidorm, Toni Pérez, and the Councilor for Culture, Jaime Jesús Pérez, together with other members of the corporation have shown their support for the society that, let us remember, has a social mass that exceeds 300 members, a School de Música with a band of 60 members, and a symphonic band with 80 musicians.
The queens of the 2022 Festes Majors Patronals, Aila Merenciano and Chloé D'Hebbout, and the president of the Comissió, Vicente Solaz, have not missed the concert either and, at all times, have accompanied the society and its president, Juan Vicente Moreno, in what has been, possibly, the best concert he has performed all year and which puts an end to the events of the tenth anniversary of La Nova.
When a few minutes passed after 11:30, before starting the show, Juan Vicente Moreno addressed the attendees from the stage to remind them that "every band worth its salt must have a good base" and clarify that this base, in the case of La Nova, "it is in our school."
Moreno has also congratulated the nine new members of the school band and the eleven members of the symphonic band that today have received from him, and from its director, Francisco José Rovira Peretó, the instruments and the diploma that accredits them as musicians. of the symphonic band, before beginning the second part of the concert.
Tras las palabras del presidente, bajo la dirección de Francisco José Rovira Peretó, la Banda de la Escuela de Música ha interpretado en primer lugar ‘Francisco Bravo’ de Manuel Carrascosa; ha proseguido con ‘A Thousand Years’, con arreglos de Paul Murtha; ‘Where the Black Hawk Soar, de Robert W. Smith; y ha finalizado con una selección musical de temas incluidos en la película ‘Up’, de Disney, con arreglos de Michael Brown.
Tras la entrada de los nuevos once músicos, Rovira Peretó ha tomado la batuta para dirigir, en esta ocasión, a la Banda Sinfónica que ha interpretado el pasodoble ‘Andrés Contrabandista’, de Óscar Navarro; ‘El duende de España’, de Antonio Ferriz Muñoz; la fantasía sinfónica ‘El Quijote’, de Ferrer Ferran; y, por último, ‘El Racó de l’Or’, de Saül Gómez Soler que ha puesto punto final al concierto.
