Michael Pinte to give the next Sol Mayor Organ concert in Marbella

The recital will take place on the 29th of February in the Church of La Encarnación

The Friends of the Sol Mayor Organ Association and the Fuerte Foundation are organising a concert for next Friday the 29th of February at 9 p.m. to be given by the French organist Michael Pinte in the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación in Marbella (Málaga).

Pinte has given recitals in the United States, Germany, Malta, Italy, France and Latvia, as well as many in Spain where he has been living since 1997. His eclectic repertoire mainly includes work by the classic and romantic composers, as well as the French, German and Italian symphonic composers and modern composers. In his Marbella concert, the organist will play works by Bach ("Choral BWV 651"), Vierne ("Impromptu from the 2nd suite), Flor Peeters ("Chorale Trio") and Krebs ("Trio sopra corale"), among others.

The Friends of the Sol Mayor Organ Association

The aim of the Friends of the Sol Organ Association is to study the historical, technical and artistic aspects of the Sol Mayor Organ, as well as to collaborate with its restoration, conservation and improvement. In this way, their aim is to promote musical culture in the school environment and to give children a taste of what this instrument is like.

In the year 2006, the Fuerte Foundation, presided over by Isabel García Bardón, took over the restoration work on the organ at the Church of La Encarnación and put the organ expert Albert Blancafort in charge of recuperating all of its sound characteristics, which had been lost over the course of time.

The El Fuerte Group currently has several business divisions: the hotels division which owns six hotels in Spain, located in Marbella, Conil, Grazalema and El Rompido, the property division which owns the Calaceite residential complex in Torrox, and the agricultural division, which owns a farm in Estepa (Seville). The Interior design studio EID and the Fuerte Foundation also belong to the El Fuerte Group. The objective of the Fuerte Foundation is to collaborate with finding solutions to problems in the social environment.
