Marbella to host the latest Family Concert of Fun Classical Music

Fuerte Hoteles was one of the companies that sponsored the concert

On the 16th February 2008, The Palacio de Ferias y Congresos in Marbella hosted the third Family Concert of Fun Classical Music. The recital began at 6 p.m. and was presented by Fernando Argenta, a guest of Fuerte Hoteles at the Hotel El Fuerte in Marbella.

The conductor from Channel 2’s programme ‘El Conciertazo’ offered up a master-class of music with a varied programme of musical works and plenty of surprises for the audience.

Conducted by Ara Vartanyan, the 55 musicians of the Symphonic Orchestra from the Experimental Centre of Musical Studies in Malaga (CEEM) performed classical pieces such as a ‘Concerto in B minor for violins and orchestra’ and a ‘Spanish Symphony for violin and Orchestra’ as well as more up-to-date, popular numbers such as ‘Paquito el Chocolatero’ and the "Superman March".

One of the most noteworthy aspects of the concert was the interactive audience participation, which created a wonderful atmosphere for children and adults to discover classical music in a fun and entertaining way. Another surprise was that two music students who won the draw at the last ‘Musical Saturdays’ concert will have the privilege of conducting the Orchestra.
