LA TEMPESTAD WILL PERFORM WITH NURIA ESPERT AT THE FESTIVAL DE ARTES ESCÉNICAS DE CANARIAS
The second edition of the Festival de Artes Escénicas de Canarias will run from 14 September to 16 November.
La Tempestad, directed by Silvia Márquez, will present the programme "Vivaldi Natura: Las cuatro estaciones", with the violinist Pablo Suárez Calero as soloist.
A little goldfinch and the night complete the picture, with Guillermo Peñalver on flute. Las cuatro estaciones, Il Gardellino and La Notte: concertos for solo instrument and orchestra; an explosion of nature and virtuosity, and the mastery of “drawing with music”.
Nuria Espert adapts and gives voice to the sonnets that inspired "Las cuatro estaciones", taken from those that precede each of the seasons in the Michel-Charles Le Cène edition of Il Cimento dell’Armonia e dell’Inventione, Op. 8 (Amsterdam, 1723-1725).

EL DIARIO.ES | CULTURE | 26/07/2019The Fundación CajaCanarias and La Caixa presented on Friday the programme for the second edition of the Festival Internacional Canarias Artes Escénicas (CAE), an initiative that both institutions will carry out throughout September, October and November in various theatre venues in Tenerife, Lanzarote, La Palma and Fuerteventura.
For the occasion, CAE will once again feature top-tier international companies that stand out for their excellence, a term to which the festival's artistic director, Juan José Afonso, referred during the press conference as one of the principles guiding this new edition, together with bringing young people closer to the festival and thereby "creating new audiences".
In addition, as a sign of the festival's growth, the island of Lanzarote joins this year to host the various performances that make up the programme, a fact highlighted by Alberto Delgado, president of the Fundación CajaCanarias, who called for joint efforts to continue giving society access to the performing arts.
The CAE 2019 Festival will run from 14 September to 16 November, with 13 performances given by the companies Nuria Espert & La Tempestad; Un Poyo Rojo, The Opera Locos; Titirtitran Teatro, and Theatre Tol, which opens the programme with Pedaleando hacia el cielo, free of charge, at the Dársena de los Llanos in the Tenerife capital.
As a prelude to the theatre programme and as a novelty in this edition, the Encuentros CAE will take place on 5 and 12 September, designed to foster the general public's interest in the performing arts through dialogues between the invited artists.
Juan Ramón Fuertes, regional director of CaixaBank in the Canary Islands, the institution that presents this festival together with the Fundación CajaCanarias, stressed at the press conference that these meetings are necessary to "reflect, debate and talk" about the inner workings of the arts scene in general, as a way of "changing presents and building futures", which is the institution's motto.
Thus, three leading figures of the national arts scene, the artists Emilio Gutiérrez Caba, Javier Gurruchaga and Mario Gas, will share with the public their own experience in the world of the arts at these meetings, which will take place at the Espacio Cultural CajaCanarias, with free admission until the venue is full.
