The program opens with Jean-Féry Rebel's Le Chaos and Les Caractères de la danse, presents the guest soloist who received first prize in the VII Concurs de Joves Ensemble Tramuntana, continues with the famous Air from J.S. Bach's Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068, and concludes with Luigi Boccherini's dramatic Symphony in D minor, Op. 12, No. 4, “La casa del diavolo”.
The string section brings together director Barry Sargent alongside violinists Marta Jiménez, Albert Grimalt, Mayumi Sargent, Margalida Gual, and Enric Pastor, accompanied by violas and orchestra members.
