THE first of two piano concerts that feature Spanish brothers Daniel Gomez-Villarroya and Oscar Gomez-Villarroya will be held at Tiromoana on Wednesday.
The concert is part of the Tiromoana summer series that features young rising stars of the piano.
Recognised as one of Spain’s most outstanding young pianists, Daniel was
chosen by Lang Lang to represent Spain as music ambassador in an international music academy run by the popular Chinese concert pianist. Lang Lang also taught Daniel in a master class. With a strong Spanish component to his recital the 15 year old Spanish pianist will play works by Granados, Turina, Manuel de Falla as well as Tchaikovsky and Liszt.
Daniel’s older brother, Oscar, performs the following day at Tiromoana.
In his recital Oscar will play solo works by Albeniz, Mompou, Ravel, Turina, and Khachaturian as well as Faure’s four-hand Dolly Suite with Daniel.
