Guanajuato, Gto., February 6, 2016.- The world premiere of the "Concierto para piano y cuerdas" of the Mexican Composer F. Javier G. Compeán was a total success, as decided by the public who witnessed the concert from the Symphonic Orchestra of the University of Guanajuato (OSUG) last Friday at the "Teatro Principal".

Under the baton of OSUG's head director, Roberto Beltrán Zavala, OSUG's musicians genuinely interpreted a work who fused a singular polyphony combining string instruments with the sound of a piano in moments thunderous and in others soft and easy.

The guest soloist, Maarten van Veen through his agility and talent, managed to capture the essence of the play, same that he showed to the public by playing with an impeccable technique.

On the matter, the composer and also professor-researcher of the Department of Music from the university of Guanajuato, F. Javier G. Compeán, at the end of the concert he expressed: "I feel very happy, I think it has been a very successful world premiere, OSUG has played marvelously as always. For me to work with this orchestra is working among brothers and the results are always optimal".

Likewise, he indicated "the pianist Maarten van Veen did an amazing job, dominated the technical difficulty of the concert in the it supposed to be, transcended the technical difficulty to give us this gift".

The public was excited and granted a prolonged applause for the musicians, the soloist, the director and the composer because of its interpretative quality and his creative virtue.

It is worth to mention that the "Concierto para piano y cuerdas" (Concert for piano and strings) is a piece written in a classical format, composed of three movements: Allegro, Lento and Prestissimo. The composer defines it as a "neoclassical concert, for the external movements, being the heart of the play a moment of romanticism that for its length, is besides the real corpus of the play".

It is precise to mention that in addition of this world premiere, OSUG also interpreted a premiere in the city. "Rêves, Op. 65" of the French Composer Florent Schmitt. One movement work, owner of great color richness that represents a writing dense in texture and rich in hues.

To close, OSUG played the "Symphony Manfredo, in B minor, Op. 58" of Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky. A four movement piece inspired in the dramatic poem by Lord Byron.
