AS THE world’s largest arts festival enters its final week, with many of the 3,000 shows in the programme down to their last six performances, one group of Catalonian musicians is hoping to get more Scots in to see them before they head home.
Queralt Garcia, who plays cello with Orquestra de Cambra de L’Empordà, said coming to the Fringe had been a great experience.
Her show, Concerto a Tempo D’Umore at the Assembly Rooms, sees her and a group of mostly Catalonian musicians, plus a Russian, a Ukrainian, a Cuban, a Korean among others take, to the stage with a mime artist.
Speaking to The National, Garcia tried to describe the show: “It’s a happening thing you cannot expect to happen in a normal concert.
“The musicians are trying to play a normal concert but it’s not possible. You have pop music and music from the cinema and classical music of course.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
