The pianist María Icíar Serrano will perform at the Padre Manuel Cultural Center with the concert ‘Fantasías y sonatas’.

It will take place on Friday, September 27 with free access until full capacity is reached.

The Estepona City Council informs that the prestigious pianist María Icíar Serrano will perform next Friday, September 27, at 8.30 pm at the Padre Manuel Cultural Center, the piano concert ‘Fantasías y Sonatas’, intended for all audiences.

The sonatas are a clear testimony to the talent and musical brilliance of Mozart who, for his melodic creativity and great virtuosity and beauty, is able to captivate the listener showing a great mastery of the compositional techniques of his time, explain the organizers.

For their part, the fantasias are a faithful image of Mozart’s improvisatory qualities, as well as providing thematic material in the romantic style, in the manner of Beethoven.

María Icíar Serrano Quiñones began her musical studies in Bilbao, continuing them years later in Valladolid, where she finished her piano studies with the best grades, obtaining a Matriculation and Honorary Prize in the subject of Repentization, Improvisation and Accompaniment.
