The Symphonic Band of the Villa de Bullas Musical Association to Perform Javier Pérez Garrido’s Heroic Overture at its Special Saint Cecilia Concert
The Symphonic Band of the Villa de Bullas Musical Association will include Obertura Heroica, Op. 26a, by composer Javier Pérez Garrido, in its special concert celebrating Saint Cecilia. The performance will take place on 22 November at 12:00 p.m. at the Almazara de Bullas, under the baton of Víctor Rodrigo.
Obertura Heroica is a work for symphonic band that pays tribute to perseverance, the greatness of the human spirit and the ability to achieve our most ambitious dreams. Featuring a distinctly cinematic sound, the composition takes listeners on a musical journey full of contrasts, combining passages of great power and heroic character with moments of lyricism, sensitivity and expressive depth. It was premiered on 20 May 2016 in Lisbon by the Portuguese Navy Band (Banda da Armada Portuguesa), conducted by Délio Gonçalves, as part of the Portuguese Navy Day celebrations.
