SANTA POLA: ‘SoLnatina’ by Rosa Torres-Pardo, Museo del Mar

The Baluarte del Duque Auditorium, part of Santa Pola Sea Museum, hosts a great concert by Rosa Torres-Pardo. The pianist makes a tribute to Alicia de Larrocha with it.

Included in the program is my SoLnatina, a youth piece that the pianist has had in her repertoire for years.

Along with my work, others by Menndelsohn, Mompou or Soler.

After the concert, we will have a conversation with Rosa, organized by the Museum together with the Association of Students of the Superior Conservatory of Alicante.

ALICANTE: ‘Diferente a los demás’ with impro at the piano

….One of my favorite things to do in life is improvising with the piano on silent movies. Use them as a video-score for my creations. I have been doing it since 2003, at the Strade del Cinema festival (Italian Alps), for more than 20 years now, and I have often done it at the International Institute of Madrid, working on pieces from the United States.

….In this case, the Vice-rectorate for Equality, Inclusion and Social Responsibility together with the Film and Audiovisual Department of the University of Alicante, under the coordination of Israel Gil, created a LGTBIQ+ Film Festival to celebrate Pride this coming July. In it, I will play three nights: Thursday 4, Tuesday 16 and Tuesday 23.

….All sessions will be at 7:30 close to the sea, so what could be better to do after beach other than coming to the cinema?

….On Thursday, July 4, we’ll watch Different from the Rest, a German gem from 1919 that happens to be the first gay-themed film in the history of cinema. It has thought-provoking content that still feels modern today.c

ALICANTE: Silent cinema with live piano, 3rd session

Inside the Festival of LGTBIQ+ Cinema organized by the University of Alicante, next Tuesday July 23rd I’ll improvise at the piano with a series of short films from the beginnings of the 20th Century with gay thematics.

This will be the 3rd and last session in the festival with my piano improvisations! The previous two went amazing!

It will be free and in the center of the city!

Looking forward of meeting you there!
