This year
was really tough here in Barcelona, especially starting from October the first,
namely when Catalonian people was brutally agressed for voting in their
territory.
I really don’t want to criticise anything of being Spanish or being
Catalonian because I have very dear friends on both origins, but I firmly
condemn the violence we witnessed this day. I really don’t want to criticize
the former Spanish Government either, except for allowing this violent
decision. Political matters don’t belong to me, but I leave in this real world
and I am not stupid either, let’s put it in that matter.
The following concert I talk about took place
in the Fine Arts Royal Academy of Barcelona at the end of November. It was a
very beautiful moment for us Duo Resonare Fibris (see us in FB). We enjoyed
every bit of it, every breath, every work of our Repertoire, but this didn’t
erase a certain uncomfortable moment for standing in front of a public in the
very middle of difficult political circumstances. We remember that in the end
of the concert, the public asked for a small repetition and we didn’t know in
which language to introduce it… Spanish or Catalonian… ?!?...
As always
in those very stressful and quick moments, the instinct decides in your behalf;
so my instinct told me to speak in English, which was totally correct as a choice, giving
that among the listeners there were many foreign tourists too. After my English
introduction the public asked me to translate in Catalan, so I did it to respect
them.
Talking
about the musical part of the concert we were satisfied about we played. Maybe
we could have better adjusted the dynamics and the volumes on the Vivaldi
Sonata… but for the rest we did it ok! 😊))
After the
concert we had to renounce our girls party night because we were too tired!!! ☹
And now…. I
go back to rehearse!!!!
