The Founder of the Ljubljana Festival is the City of Ljubljana The Patron of the 2019 Ljubljana Festival is the Mayor of the City of Ljubljana, Mr Zoran Janković. PRESS RELEASE Ljubljana, May 2019 LJUBLJANA FESTIVAL – CULTURAL HUB AT THE HEART OF YOUR SUMMER CULTURAL EXPERIENCE Every summer the Ljubljana Festival makes an important contribution to the cultural life of Ljubljana with a carefully selected programme covering a wide variety of genres. Today’s press conference in the Red Hall at Ljubljana Town Hall served to present this year’s 67th Ljubljana Festival, which will run from July until September. Once again the festival will feature ballet and opera performances, musicals, chamber and symphonic concerts, the International Fine Arts Colony, workshops for children and young people, the Ljubljana Festival on the Ljubljanica, and much more. Even before the official start of the festival, you will have the unique opportunity to hear Verdi’s Requiem conducted by the great Plácido Domingo, in his first appearance as a conductor in Slovenia. This pre-festival event will be followed at beginning of July by the most eagerly awaited cultural event of the year: the opening of the 67th Ljubljana Festival, which gets under way with Aida, one of the best known and most frequently performed operas not only of Verdi's oeuvre, but in the entire history of opera. Director Dražen Siriščević’s imaginative staging will make the most of the outdoor setting and the opera will include an appearance by thoroughbred Lipizzaner horses from the stud farm in Lipica. The events of the Ljubljana Festival take place throughout the summer and Slovenia’s capital will continue to welcome some of the biggest names in music – performers of worldwide renown – right up until September.

CHAMBER CONCERTS OF THE 67TH LJUBLJANA FESTIVAL The Slovene Philharmonic String Chamber Orchestra is preparing a concert with the acclaimed mandolinist Avi Avital. Winner of the prestigious Aviv Competition in 2007, Israeli musician Avi Avital is the first mandolinist in the history of the competition to be so honoured. A passionate and charismatic musician, his performances have electrified audiences around the world. He is also the first mandolin soloist to be nominated for a classical Grammy. (29. 7. at 8.00pm, National Gallery) The Georgian Chamber Orchestra Ingolstadt was founded in Tbilisi (Georgia) in 1964. Its move to Ingolstadt (Germany) in early 1990 opened a new chapter in its story. Despite the move to a different cultural and geographical environment, it maintains its Eastern European identity, at the same time acting as an important cultural ambassador for the city of Ingolstadt. For its Ljubljana concert the orchestra will be conducted by the Armenian conductor Ruben Gazarian, who since 2015 has also been its artistic director. The soloists will be Fabrizio Meloni (clarinet), Vicente Campos (trumpet) and Giuseppe Albanese (piano). (30. 7. at 8.00pm, National Gallery) The concert evening Death and the Maiden places the spotlight on the vocal- instrumental works of two Romantic composers who are among the most notable composers of lieder: Hugo Wolf and Franz Schubert. Songs for female voice and strings and Death and the Maiden for soprano and strings have been arranged by the artistic director of the Slovene Philharmonic String Chamber Orchestra, Klemen Hvala. The fourteen-member ensemble was founded in 1993 with support from the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia.

HACE Treinta Y Cinco Años, El 22 De Septiembre De 1972, La
Depósito Legal: A-1.583-1997 Such Serra, S.A.L. - Alcalde Lorenzo Carbonell, 57 - Alicante ACE treinta y cinco años, el 22 de septiembre de 1972, la Sociedad de Conciertos de Alicante iniciaba sus activida- Hdes con un recital de Victoria de los Ángeles en homenaje al gran pianista alicantino Gonzalo Soriano. Treinta y cinco años es un periodo de tiempo muy corto para una Institución, pero muy dilatado para las personas; y todos los que hemos colaborado en hacer posible la Sociedad de Conciertos, cuan- do miramos atrás tenemos la sensación de haber recorrido un largísi- mo camino que ha estado lleno de dificultades que hemos podido ir venciendo con esfuerzo y con tenacidad. También han sido muy importantes las satisfacciones que han compensado nuestros desvelos. Tal vez si tenemos que resumir en una sola palabra el “secreto” de la Sociedad de Conciertos es el entusiasmo que se ha mantenido desde la iniciación hasta el momento presente. La razón fundamental de nacer la Sociedad era la de programar conciertos de gran calidad artística, y esta meta afortunadamente se ha conseguido. En ciclos anteriores hemos editado varias memorias, y ahora al cumplirse los 35 años de vida de la Sociedad creemos conveniente resumir todos los conciertos programados, para que se tenga una visión unitaria y de conjunto de nuestras actividades, tanto para los socios, como para las agencias de contratación, y para algunos artis- tas que son reticentes a visitar ciudades pequeñas, y que al compro- bar la importancia de los interpretes que han pasado por nuestra Sociedad han aceptado actuar por considerar que la Sociedad de Conciertos de Alicante es un foro de prestigio.

La Intimidad Sonora. 25 De Abril De 2016 Intérpretes
CONCIERTOS TEMÁTICOS LA INTIMIDAD SONORA. 25 DE ABRIL DE 2016 Ya nuestra intimidad es tan inmensa que la muerte la esconde en su vacío. Mario Benedetti, Intimidad La intimidad abierta y exultante del clasicismo vienés, el intimismo de Schubert y el romanticismo melancólico de Schumann. La mirada hacia el interior, la huida de lo externo en busca de refugio o aislamiento lleva a la intimidad, espacio emotivo que invita a la meditación y sugerencia para el reencuentro con uno mismo. El lenguaje de la música, lenguaje de abstracción por excelencia, es el lenguaje de la intimidad desplegada libremente como un mundo de plenitud emotiva. INTÉRPRETES: Claudi Arimany, flauta Pedro Rodríguez, piano PROGRAMA: Robert Schumann (1810-1856) Adagio y Allegro op.70 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1787) Sonata en Si bemol mayor KV. 454 Largo Allegro Andante Allegretto Franz Schubert (1797-1828) Introducción y Variaciones sobre el Lied “Trockne Blumen” D802-op.post.160 CONCIERTOS TEMÁTICOS “Claudi Arimany es, en mi opinión, uno de los mejores flautistas de su generación. Es uno de aquellos virtuosos que ponen la técnica, la sonoridad y los colores del fraseo al servicio de la musicalidad y la sensibilidad, lo cual no está al alcance de muchos”. Jean-Pierre Rampal, Agosto 99 Claudi Arimany, flauta. Claudi Arimany nació en Granollers (Barcelona). Realizó sus estudios en Barcelona y París. Es considerado uno de los solistas catalanes de mayor prestigio, con una importante trayectoria de gran proyección internacional.
