The Department of Tourism organizes EdetArts 2022

THE I LLÍRIA INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL WILL BE HELD ON MAY 25 AND 28

The Department of Tourism of the Edeta City Council has organized the first edition of the Llíria International Chamber Music Festival, “EdetArts 2022”. The event will be held on May 25 and 28 in the auditorium of the local Professional Conservatory of Music.

With the artistic direction of the Canadian cellist Cameron Crozman and the technical coordination of Turisme Llíria, the festival will feature the participation of performers from different countries such as Japan, Canada, the United States, Cuba, Sweden, France, Portugal and Spain.

The concert on Wednesday 25 is dedicated to German composers of Classicism and Romanticism. The performers Vicent Huerta, Arianna Smith, Cameron Crozman and Meagan Miltaz will offer works by Beethoven, Brahms and Schumann.

The repertoire on Saturday 28 will include works by European composers such as Debussy, Saint Saëns, Lutoslawski and Tchaikovsky. Catherine Ordonneau, Jorge González, Kei Tojo, Kristina Winiarski, Kai Gleusteen and Cameron Crozman will perform.

The two concerts will be at 8:00 p.m. and admission is free until full capacity is reached.

“EdetArts” thus joins the proposals of Llíria City of Music within the framework of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network, such as the “eMe” early music festival, the jazz and other music festival “El DesenJazz” or that of world music “LLUM Fest”.

According to the Councilor for Tourism and Artistic Education, Paco García, this International Chamber Music Festival of Llíria “serves to expand our program of musical events as a new tourist attraction and aims for music to also be the basis of local development sustainable and thus meet the objectives of the UNESCO 2030 Agenda.

 

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.
