Spain Mediterranean Guest 2011 –Guest of Honour – Catalan Contemporary Music
“I love particularly the context of this big celebration, because I believe that the artistic work –and music specially!- can do a very important contribution to the cause of improving communication and enrichment between different countries and people, opening up new horizons for the expression of new ideas, feelings and shared experiences. In this sense, as a citoyen living near Barcelona, I consider all the mediterranean people truly as a community of brothers with common roots and strong historical and cultural links in the past, in the present and I hope –with renewed impulse- in the future!
I congratulate the Alexandrina Contemporary Music Biennale and its promoters for making all this possible. I am sure that it will be successful in reinforcing this kind of exchange, creating and developing a great forum that will help to develop reciprocal knowledge between Mediterranean people, as well as link Europe to the Middle East region. Spain has certainly an important role in this point. I feel very grateful for giving me the opportunity to participate in such an exciting project.”
