Tomorrow the Ebony clarinet quartet shall offer a new concert under the portico of the Santa María Cathedral

The concert will be held at 20:00 pm and entrance is free of charge, though prior collection of an invitation is required.

           Vitoria-Gasteiz, 19th June 2009. - Tomorrow the portico of the Santa María Cathedral will host a concert of the Ebony clarinet quartet, a formation which emerged from the city`s music conservatory and which boasts a broad repertoire. Part of the `Open for concerts` cycle, the recital will start at 20:00 pm; it is free of charge though prior collection of an invitation is required.
After the last performance on 13th June by the Lautada Abesbatza Choir, which offered a successful polyphonic recital with a selection of pieces by authors from Alava, tomorrow it is the turn of another group formed in Vitoria-Gasteiz, specifically within the walls of the Jesús Guridi Conservatory.

         The Ebony clarinet quartet was formed in the clarinet lesson room of this school of music with the combined aim of diffusing the existing repertoire for this instrument`s family - both original pieces and pieces adapted to the group -, and to serve as a valuable educational tool for pupils. It also has a broad repertoire which has gradually integrated most music styles.
During tomorrow`s concert they will interpret a two-part programme with pieces by Farkas, Händel, Dubois, Mozart, Yasinitsky, Thompson, Gershwin, Marshall and Wiberny.
Once again the concert is free of charge and shall be held under the portico of the Cathedral at 20:00 pm. As space is limited, invitations must be collected at the Visitor Reception Centre (Plaza de las Brullerías).
