A total of 80 musicians will participate in the III National Clarinet Competition “Llíria, Ciutat Creativa”.

THE LOCAL PROFESSIONAL CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC WILL HOST THIS WEEKEND’S COMPETITION

Once again, S & M Music and the Department of Artistic Education of the City of Llíria, carry out a new edition of the National Clarinet Competition “Llíria, Ciutat Creativa”, which will be held at the Professional Conservatory of Music in the town throughout this coming weekend.

This third edition, as explained by the Councillor for Artistic Education and Creative City UNESCO Paco Garcia, “the contest has increased the number of participants, up to 80 entries in the different categories of the same.”

The competition remains faithful to its educational objectives among clarinet students, although it should also be noted its growth, year after year, both in the number of participants and in sponsors of the sector who have decided to support this initiative, which starts from elementary to higher education, to cover the different educational stages of music studies.

García pointed out that Llíria “is becoming a benchmark for musical events, in different disciplines, where there have been meetings and master classes with great professionals in different instruments, as well as this clarinet competition or the prestigious International Orchestra Conducting Competition to be held next July”.

Concerts
The III National Clarinet Competition of Llíria will be accompanied by two exceptional musical performances. The first will be on Saturday, June 17, at 7 p.m., when Luis Fernández Castelló, one of the most outstanding young clarinettists on the national scene, accompanied by the pianist Carlos Apellániz, will give a concert.

On Sunday 18, at 6 p.m., the international soloist Jean-Michel Bertelli will perform, with the participation also of Carlos Apellániz, the clarinetist Miguel Torres and Javier Alamá on drums.

4) MAUSOLEOS ROMANOS

Ciudad romana. S. I – II d.C. declarado BIC

Este espacio arqueológico conserva uno de los conjuntos arquitectónicos relacionados con el mundo funerario, más importantes de la antigua provincia romana de Hispania.

Estos monumentos funerarios formaban parte de la antigua necrópolis de Edeta. Se conservan los restos de dos monumentos funerarios dispuestos junto con una de las principales vías de la entrada a la ciudad romana.

Junto a la vía necrópolis, se encuentra el umbral de la entrada al recinto funerario constituido por cuatro losas con la inscripción latina P. CLODIVS EVTYCHVS SIBI ET CLODIAE NATALI VXORI CARISSIMAE que significa “P. Clodio Eutico lo construyó para sí y para Clodia Natalia, su amadísima esposa”.

El primer monumento tiene la fachada decorada con pilastras acanaladas y una cámara interior con dos bancos corridos donde se celebraban las fiestas de los parientes. El segundo monumento pertenece al grupo de sepulcros turriformes y conserva una losa con un orificio central para realizar las libaciones que tapa una cavidad cúbica donde se depositaban las incineraciones y los ajuares funerarios.

Un audiovisual dedicado al mundo funerario romano puede contemplarse en una de las salas de este sótano arqueológico.
