Among the activities of the OFF Competition of the magnificent Maria Canals International Piano Competition in Barcelona, this year the Tu hi toques video contest was held again?, open to pianists who want to share their talent and enthusiasm for the piano online.
MONDAY 03 JULY 2023
About forty videos emerged from the piano students of the music school and conservatory of Cervera. And after the jury's deliberation, ten have been awarded with a diploma and the possibility to perform in the main hall of the Palau de la Música Catalana, concert that took place last Friday 30 June.
In Category A (8-10 years) the winners were Estanislau Martínez Vega and Aitana Pintó Perella. In Category B (11-12 years) the winners were Marçal Prió Sebastián, Carla Ros Vidal and Pol Riu Corbera. In Category C (13-15 years) they were Eloi Escudero Ribó and Laia Boix Baró. Alexia Escudero Ribó and Berta Baltral Noguera, Anastasia Mostishko Mostishko will be the guanyadores of Category D (16-18 years) and finally Alexia Escudero Ribó and Berta Baltral Noguera in the Chamber Music Category.
The concert offered in the modernist venue was as endearing as it was exciting. And students, teachers and families were able to enjoy a day they will remember forever. It should also be added that the students took the opportunity to play in the Palau works they had already performed during the course and some by teachers linked to the Conservatory such as Josep Lluís Guzman.
The Cervera expedition was accompanied by Jordi Vivancos - representative of the Maria Canals contest- and the councilor of the Conservatory, Ramon Augé, what “he also wanted to highlight the virtue of the work and the results achieved”.
