Last night's concert for Easter was probably one the best that we have been privileged to attend here in Bigastro.
With a packed Auditorium and a full program, the Unión Musical de Bigastro surpassed themselves under the direction of their guest conductor.
The processional marches were delightful especially the last two. For the Encuentro, the lights were dimmed and a video of the moving parade that is unique to the town was projected on the back wall.
For Gratitud y Recuerdo, images of what we imagined were past members of the band were shown. You could hear the buzz as people identified their past friends and relatives on the screen.
In the second half, the Andrew Lloyd Weber composition showcased the talents of several soloists including the flautist, Raquel Diaz, daughter of our hairdresser.
For the finale, the back of the stage filled with a choir who then accompanied the soloist in a wonderful piece of Zarzuela (folk opera). Susi Gálvez Mesples has an amazing and powerful voice - a very talented lady
The audience were suitably appreciative in their applause.
