SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, December 31 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Young Orchestra of the Canary Islands (JOCAN) will offer the first of the concerts scheduled in its long-awaited New Year’s tour but the other three scheduled in Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and La Palma will be postponed until the health situation improves.
This decision has been taken based on current epidemiological data, which have led the Culture team of the Government of the Canary Islands to act prudently and avoid the mobility of the orchestra across several islands and in a very few days.
In this way, the concert on Saturday will be held, under the direction of Víctor Pablo Pérez and with Bomsori (violin) as soloist.
It will be at the Tenerife Auditorium, a space that has hosted the Christmas meeting of the Young Orchestra during the last week.
This concert will be recorded by RadioTelevisión Canaria and broadcast on January 6 in the morning, so that all the citizens of the islands can enjoy the talent and work of the young Canarian musicians gathered on this occasion.
And, especially, the broadcast will be addressed to the public that will not be able to attend the postponed concerts.
However, despite the decision by responsibility not to complete this tour, “a large part of the objective with which the JOCAN was created has been able to be fulfilled,” says the Deputy Minister of Culture, Juan Márquez, in a note.
Along these lines, he states that “the young musicians summoned to this meeting have been able to have the experience of preparing a concert of these characteristics by renowned teachers, a week of intense work with sectional rehearsals and the entire orchestra and together with a great conductor and a first-rate soloist “.
Likewise, it details that “orchestral practice in its broadest sense is fundamental for their careers and that opportunity that JOCAN gives them they have been able to take advantage of”.
The tickets for the concerts postponed until further notice will be returned by the same means in which they were purchased (online or at the box office) and the spaces that were to host the JOCAN will order the automatic return to the electronic sales platforms.
