Featuring Pablo Araya (violin), Verónica Cagigao (percussion), Laura Delgado García (oboe), Pablo Díaz Estrada (flute, pito herreño), Gustavo Díaz-Jerez (piano), Ciro Hernández Perdigón (cello), Ewa Moszczynska (viola) and Francisco Suárez Hernández (clarinet); conducted by José María de Vicente. The programme included:

I already commented on the state of ventilation in this auditorio a year ago. No, it didn’t improve. On top of that, when the concert was over, we (the audience) discovered that the gates were locked. It took about 10 minutes for the security guard to locate the spare set of keys and let the crowd out, to the roaring applause.
And that was it for September.
