ARTS, the Mallorcan Council and Palma Town Council remember Lliteras and Bach in Bellver
The association ARTS, Cultural Services, together with the Mallorcan Council and the Palma Town Council, are organising the concert "Cantates Profanes" to remember the composers, Lliteres and Bach, that will take place on Monday, July 3 at 10 p.m. at the Bellver Castle. The recital will have the exceptional performance of the soprano Teresa Vert, the baritone Pau Bordas, the oboe soloist Juan Rodríguez and the musical group Grup Instrumental, directed by Lluís Remartínez.

The programme includes two parts: in the first, the Concert for oboe and strings BWV 1056 by J. S. Bach and the Cantata "Ha del rústico" by A. Lliteres; in the second part, the musicians will interpret Bauern-Kantate BWV 212 by J. S. Bach.

This year sees 250 years since the death of J.S. Bach and throughout 2000 the great composer has and will draw the attention of music lovers. Therefore, the association ARTS and other institutions and musical organisations, have offered over the last few months, different musical events dedicated to the German genius. In the publication Pòrtula of Marratxí an article about J.S. Bach's work "Any 2000, any Bach" can be found.

Antoni Lliteres i Carrió was born in Artà in 1673. He is one of the most notable musicians of his era both in the religious and non religious fields. He is the most important one in Spanish baroque music, and possibly the most important Mallorcan musician ever. In the past few years, many concerts and recordings of his work have been made. In May 1999, the Teatre Principal offered the full performance of "Acis and Galatea", one of the greatest operettas written by the composer.
