La Universidad compostelana organiza esta tarde una nueva cita musical en la Iglesia de la Universidad. En esta ocasión, el concierto estará a cargo de la orquesta de cámara Música Acordada, dirigida por Roberto Santamarina.
Este nuevo proyecto musical nace en 2012 cuando varios músicos y profesores de cuerda de Galicia deciden fundar una nueva orquesta para interpretar composiciones de los siglos XVII y XVIII. "Música Acordada" pretende hacer su pequeña aportación al panorama musical gallego en el que a la interpretación barroca se refiere, ya que pocas de las agrupaciones de nuestra comunidad suene incluir este repertorio en sus programas de conciertos.
Los miembros de esta agrupación tienen formación especializada en este período históricomusical, así como experiencia en distintas agrupaciones "de época". Música Acordada intenta obtener con instrumentos actuales la sonoridad "original" de esta música, empleando criterios históricamente documentados y usando las fuentes que consideran más próximas a las originales.
El concierto de estreno incluirá obras de Geminiani, Haendel, Corelli, Muffat y Vivaldi.
Like the 5th of every month, the Municipality of Touro holds its local market, but on this occasion it is devoted especially to the Carnival Festival. A parade featuring the traditional “Xenerais da Ulla” and carnival groups with the festival’s most representative elements.
Declared a Festival of National Tourist Interest, the Stew Festival is a tribute to one of the outstanding dishes of Galician gastronomy. It is held on the Sunday before the Carnival festival and with the passing of the years, it has become one of the main gastronomy festivals in Galicia and even in the Iberian Peninsula. It began in 1968, with the objective of exalting and promoting the town of Lalín as a point of reference in the production of quality meat and excellent farm products.
An event declared a Festival of Galician Tourist Interest that receives an important number of visitors from all over Galicia every year. This festival was one of the first “filloa” (crepe) festivals held in Galicia, being centred on an exclusively Galician product, just like other traditional products accompanying it (honey, chorizo…), although there are similar desserts in other regions and countries. In view of its age, we can determine that it originated as a genuine promotion of this characteristic Entroido (Galician Carnival) product.
The Arzúa Cheese Festival, declared a Festival of Galician Tourist Interest, is held on the first weekend in March.
