Then Cristina has played again participating in a sketch with a beautiful visual choreography developed by El Hechizo Teatro, playing the piano Claro de Luna and Arabesque nÂş 1 of Debussy - Composer honored this year in Entre Cuerdas y Metales, being the centenary of her death.

The music has not stopped at any time, also enjoying the performance of the Chamber Orchestra of Cartagena, directed by Andrés Pérez Bernabé, with the soloists awarded in the previous edition, Soprano MÂŞ del Carmen Portela Tapia who performed along with this three pieces by Bononcini, Mozart and Grieg, giving way to the second soloist who played with this group Ángel Rodríguez García, the Concert for Marimba and String Orchestra by Mateo Soto.

Mateo Soto, who was in the room (Professor of Fundamentals of Composition at the Conservatory of Music of Cartagena), offered this great work that premiered in 2015 in the Promotional Concert Cycle that this contest organizes every year, playing Angel For the second time yesterday at the Batel.

The one in charge of putting the finishing touch to the Closing Gala was the Symphony Orchestra of the Conservatory of Music of Cartagena conducted by Ginés Martínez Vera, with the last surprise of the Gala, an encore with the interpretation outside the program of the soundtrack of Star Wars.
