"Cultures", International Percussion Quartet

The Auditorium de Palma will hold next Tuesday, May 23 at 8.30 p.m., a concert "Cultures", International Percussion Quartet, interpreted by Armando Lorente Matesanz "Soloist in the Balearic Symphony Orchestra), Juan José Guillem (Professor of the National Spanish Orchestra), Shanlin Jiao (Professor of the Pekin Conservatory) and Philippe Spiesser (international soloist).

These four musicians form part of a cultural exchange programme of their respective countries (Spain, China and France), and make an ideal platform for the most representative composers of the present day music of each country, to see their work performed in different states where these concerts are held.

The project "Cultures" started last October with a first tour of the Popular Republic of China, with concerts and teaching concerts at the two most important conservatories in China: the "Concert Hall of Shenyan Conservatory of Music" (Shenyan)and the "Concert Hall of China Conservatory" (Pekin). The second part of this cycle will be held in Spain, with this concert that will take place at the Auditorium on May 23 and one that will occur two days later on May 25 at the Circle of Fine Arts in Madrid. The cycle will end with a tour of concerts in France, the last host country.

The concert "Cultures", International Percussion Quartet, is sponsored by the Balearic Government, Sa Nostra and COFUC; and has the collaboration of the ACA Foundation, The Mallorcan Council, the Public Foundation of the Balearics for Music and El Mundo/El Dia de Baleares newspaper.
