Alumnes del Conservatori participen a la cantataEl Jove Anselm Clavé

Un grup de cantaires de nivell elemental del Conservatori de Música de Cervera van participar, Saturday 20 d'abril, a la cantata juvenilEl Jove Anselm Clavé”, a l’Auditori de Barcelona, escrita amb motiu del 200è aniversari del naixement d’aquesta figura essencial en la música catalana.

more 600 alumnes d’escoles i conservatoris de Catalunya, la Coral de Caramelles de Begues i la Societat Coral Joventut Tianenca han participat en aquest esdeveniment musical, organitzat per la Federació de Cors de Clavé, amb el suport del Departament d’Educació de la Generalitat de Catalunya i la col·laboració de l’Associació de Conservatoris de Catalunya, l’Associació d’Escoles de Música de Catalunya i les Escoles de Música d’Iniciativa Privada Associades de Catalunya.

The work, escrita per la compositora Andrea de Escalada, ha estat dirigida musicalment per Claudia Dubé, amb la direcció escènica a càrrec de Ruth Garcia i un nodrit grup d’actors, que van donar vida als personatges i les històries amb una bella interpretació, tot transportant-nos al temps de la vida i obra de Clavé.

Pianistes cerverins actuen en un concert d’intercanvi a Palafrugell

Pianistes cerverins actuen en un concert d’intercanvi a Palafrugell

Aquest passat cap de setmana una dotzena de pianistes de grau professional del Conservatori de Música de Cervera van viatjar fins a la localitat de Palafrugell fruit de la tornada de l’intercanvi amb el Centre Autoritzat d’Ensenyaments Artístics Professionals de Grau Professional l’Energia.

Els alumnes, al costat d’un nodrit grup de pares cerverins i els quatre professors que els acompanyaven van ser rebuts per l’alcalde de Palafrugell, Juli Fernàndez; van poder visitar Calella i fer el camí de ronda. I fins i tots els alumnes més agosarats es van banyar a la platja.

La tarda del dissabte va estar dedicada a treballar, ja que es va decidir interpretar obres a quatre mans amb grups mixtes entre alumnes de Cervera i Palafrugell, fet que va necessitar el seu temps d’assaig i classe per part del professorat.
However, hi va haver també un cert temps de gaudi, de conèixer altres joves amb les mateixes inquietuds i fer amistat. I després d’un sopar conjunt al mateix Centre l’Energia van tenir un espai per sortir conjuntament i gaudir de la localitat i els seus indrets més especials, abans de ser acollits per les famílies de Palafrugell.

El diumenge ens van oferir una visita i taller al Museu del Suro i després es va fer una prova de so prèvia al concert. Aquest va tenir lloc a les 12 del migdia a l’espai del centre dedicat a l’auditori. Els alumnes van tocar tant individualment com en formacions de piano a quatre mans. I cal felicitar tots els joves perquè es va veure un molt bon nivell i va ser el punt òptim per verificar que l’esforç diari en l’estudi de l’instrument té la seva recompensa.
Després del dinar de germanor al pati de l’Energia ofert per les famílies i una estona de gaudi on els alumnes van fer molt bona amistat entre ells, van tocar conjuntament el piano i fins i tot cantar plegats, la comitiva cerverina retornà cap a la capital segarrenca amb una molt grata vivència viscuda.

Cal felicitar els pares i alumnes pel seu esforç, a les famílies de Palafrugell per la seva rebuda i hospitalitat i a l’encantador tracte del professorat de Palafrugell -encapçalat per la seva directora emèrita, Rita Ferrer-.
Tots guardarem un magnífic record de l’experiència.

The Cervera Wheat Museum inaugurates the sculpture "Inercia analema"

The Cervera Wheat Museum inaugurates the sculpture "Inercia analema"

The Councilor of Culture, Ramon Augé, and the authors of the work, sculptor Marta Pruna and engineer Hamlyn Terry, they inaugurated the new sculpture "Inercia analema", in squares and streets of the city of Cervera, in an event that took place on Sunday 25 of March within the cycle of activities "A batre…?” of the Wheat Museum.

The inaugural event also had the interventions of the director of the Cervera Museum, of which the Wheat Museum is a part, Mireia Pedro; of the curator of the museum's current exhibition and of the revitalization cycle "To beat…?”, Mark Verdes; and both authors of the sculptural work, Marta Pruna to Hamlyn Terry.

It is a sculpture made from three blocks from the Blanco lime era, living in Segarra: dues, made of stone and placed horizontally - on the sides of which three faces are carved -, and one, of concrete and placed vertically, completed with a solar disk. The whole is proposed as a "hyperlocal" mechanism, since it allows the passage of circular time to be traced in place and, in concrete, the seasons, the equinoxes and solstices. Time that has traditionally ruled the peasantry.

The work, located in Plaça del Sindicat, completes a sculptural process that began with the reopening of the Wheat Museum a year ago, in its new location in a wing of the Farinera del Sindicat building.

Cervera's Easter Festival has its most intense week

The reference contest for Catalan classical music, which this year honors the figures of Josep Valls i Royo and Ricard Lamote de Grignon, offers twelve concerts and two parallel activities·leles del 27 al 30 March.

After the good reception, both the inaugural concert with the OJC and Salvador Brontons, com from Núria Andorrà's "Nu.A" show, the Cervera Easter Festival continues, from Wednesday 27 March, with its programming.

The Municipal Auditorium will host the concert - presentation of the book "La viola tenor Parramon". The event will feature Emmanuel Balssa (viola tenor), Daniel Blanch (piano), Jordi Pinto (author of the book) and Pere-Andreu Jariod (journalist and music popularizer).
In between 1932 i 1936, the Barcelona luthier Ramon Parramon built 55 tenor violas, a unique instrument for its characteristics and its sound: the tenor viola. Even Pau Casals had one. During the presentation, led by journalist Pere-Andreu Jariod, the author of the book will tell us about the history of this unknown instrument, with musical interventions where we can hear their wonderful sound live.
In this presentation we will be able to listen to works by Joan and Ricard Lamote de Grignon, H. Casadesus and D. Shostakovich.
All activities parallel·lessons are free.

Thursday, 28 March, the first concert of this week will take place with a tribute to Josep Valls i Royo by Arnau Tomàs (cello) and Mercè Hervada (piano). Joseph Valls (1904-1999) and, certainly, one of the great unknown composers of our music, perhaps because he was exiled to France on 1939 and he never lived in Catalonia again. The Easter Festival wants to do its part so that his work begins to be recognized in the country that saw him born. It will be done by exceptional performers: the cello·list Arnau Tomàs, member of the Casals Quartet, and the pianist Mercè Hervada, which will highlight Valls' music for these two instruments.

Friday, 29 March, this year's local concerts will be premiered. These are short performances that take place in spaces in the old town of Cervera and that are repeated 2 cops (a session at 11,30 hours and the other at 13 hours). This way, the public can attend both musical productions (first one and then the other, in the order you prefer). The Municipal Auditorium will host Albert Guinovart's concert with "El piano català. Three different poetics". At the same times, but at Casa Sabater on Carrer Major, Blooming Duo will present "New sounds for tradition". To close the day on Friday, the evening concert will be performed by the National Youth Choir of Catalonia directed by Mireia Barrera with "The wealth of Catalan choral music".

A new parallel activity will also take place on Friday·native of the White Borges and currently resides in Los Angeles. Memory is a woman's name, the screening of the documentary "Les mans d'Alícia", on the figure of Alicia de Larrocha, considered one of the best pianists of the 20th century. His daughter will present the documentary, Alicia Torra, who is also the curator of the exhibition on display at the Municipal Auditorium.

Saturday, 30 March, it will be the last day of the Festival and it will also start with local concerts. The Auditorium will host "Resonances of silence" with Sílvia Vidal (piano) and Ramon Humet (bol tibetan, quartz bowls and gong). In the same hours, in other words that is, them 11,30 and the 13 hours, but in the Church of Sant Joan, the old music group Dichos Diabolos will bring us closer to "Nigra Sum. Music for the Virgin of Montserrat”.

To close the day and also this year's Festival, the Paranimf will host an evening concert directed by Xavier Puig with Marta Bonet (soprano), Martha Infante, (mezzo-soprano), David Alegret (tenor), Jordi Serrano (baritone), the Chamber Choir of the Enric Granados Auditorium in Lleida and the Terrassa Orchestra 48. The concert will be dedicated to "Francesc Andreví and Ramon Carnicer: two people from Lleida in Madrid".

The Easter Festival, organized by the Town Council of Cervera, is a meeting point for the sector of classical music in Catalonia and a showcase of classical music in Catalonia.
