# Flores, Rondón and Hernández-Silva with the Gran Canaria Philharmonic

Pacho Flores, Leo Rondón and Manuel Hernández-Silva meet again, this time together with the (https://ofgrancanaria.com/es/events/concierto-13-2/?occurrence=2022-05-06), to offer a program that includes Kalinnikov’s Symphony No. 1 and two trumpet concerts: the *Concerto Venezolano,* by Paquito D’ Rivera, and *Cantos y Revueltas,* by Pacho himself. The concert will take place at the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium in Las Palmas on Saturday, May 6 at 8:00 p.m. These two trumpet concerts have several things in common, such as the fact that they were composed for a wide range of instruments of the trumpet family that include trumpets, cornets and flugelhorns, all with four pistons and manufactured by STOMVI: cornet in C, trumpet in C, cornet in G, flugelhorn in B flat and cornet in F for the *Concerto Venezolano*, and flugelhorn in B flat, cornet in D and trumpet in C for *Cantos y Revueltas*, which means that Pacho comes on stage with 6 different instruments.

*

 

Another thing both works have in common is the presence of the Venezuelan cuatro*; in the case of D’Rivera, integrated as part of the orchestra, and in the case of Flores, as co-soloist with the trumpet —not in in vain this piece bears the subtitle *Fantasia concertante for trumpet, Venezuelan cuatro and strings.* Rondón is one of the most outstanding virtuosi of this instrument and has collaborated with ensembles such as the Quatuor Debussy, L’Arpeggiata by Christina Pluhar or the Mexican tenor Rolando Villazón, as well as with orchestras such as the Real Filharmonía de Galicia, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Orchestre National de l’Ile de France, Orquesta Sinfónica de la Región de Murcia, Valencia Orchestra, Castilla y León Symphony Orchestra, Extremadura Symphony Orchestra, Navarre Symphony Orchestra, Tunisia Symphony Orchestra or Malaga Philharmonic, and he will soon debut with the Gran Canaria Philharmonic. Future engagements will take him to Sweden and Norway.

The *Concerto Venezolano* is a joint commission between the Minería Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, the (/?p=10517) and the San Diego Symphony Orchestra, which have premiered it under the baton of conductors Carlos Miguel Prieto, Domingo Hindoyan, Manuel Hernández-Silva and Rafael Payare, respectively. *Cantos y Revueltas* was premiered by the Real Filharmonía de Galicia and Manuel Hernández-Silva, and is the main work on the homonymous album by Deutsche Grammophon.
