Under the title 'Vientos de Viena', and because of the proximity of the celebration of the festival of Santa Cecilia, the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Cartagena will offer next Saturday, November 11 from 8:00 pm in the Isaac Room Pear of the old CIM two of the best known works of the classical repertoire such as the Overture of 'Las Bodas de Fígaro', by WA Mozart, and the Seventh Symphony by LV Beethoven, according to the statistics the most performed work every year in all the world.
Admission to the event will be free until full capacity is reached.
The program, originally composed for symphony orchestra, will sound this time in its version for ten instruments.
Under the baton of the young Cartagena director Álvaro Pintado we can listen to the transcriptions of these works made at the beginning of the 19th century.
Today this type of training (known as Harmoniemusik) has almost fallen into oblivion, but in the Vienna of Mozart and Beethoven it was very common to transcribe the best-known orchestral repertoire so that it could be played by groups of winds, so that heard by the flatter people, who could not afford to enter a theater.
At the same time, this training was more affordable for those nobles who usually did not have an orchestra at their disposal.
The Youth Symphony Orchestra of Cartagena was born in July of 2016 on the initiative and concern of a group of young Cartagena musicians.
Since then it has become an active part of the culture of the city, offering concerts and participating in all kinds of activities thanks to the collaboration of the Youth Council of the City Council.
The group of winds of the JOSCT offered its first concert in May 2017 at the El Batel Auditorium.
