Third APNEEF benefit concert

The Formentera Office of Culture is pleased to announce that the Association of People with Special Needs of Eivissa and Formentera (APNEEF), in collaboration with the Consell de Formentera, will host the return of an extra special evening of classical music to be held at the Sala de Cultura (Cinema) Saturday 15 October at 8.00 pm.

Performers include Alfredo Oyágüez, a pianist and artistic director of the Deià International Music Festival, and Byron Wallis, a violinist and native of the USA. Crowds at this year's event, the third APNEEF benefit concert, will witness the marriage of Oyágüez's gentle ivory-tickling and Wallis's delicate violin work as the pair perform works by F. Bruch, R. Schumannt and F. Schubert.

Since 1978 the Deià International Music Festival in Son Marroig (Mallorca) has been a showcase for chamber music. The prestigious event encompasses a wide range of concerts and numerous national and international performers, groups and composers. Shows take place in various venues between Deià and Valldemossa, like the former estate of Archduke Ludwig of Habsburg, Miramar monastery and Deià church.

Thanks to the commitment to social causes of organisers Alfredo Oyágüez and Rafael Cavestany, Formentera residents can look forward to a magical night close to home.

Admission
Tickets will be available for a €20 donation an hour before showtime at the door or through www.dimfentradas.com.

All proceeds will go to support APNEEF's projects and programmes to safeguard the rights of Pine Islands residents with functional diversity.
