Health and Culture

A very special concert that will navigate through key pieces by Franz Schubert, Claude Debussy, Ottorino Respighi and Igor Stravinsky, performed by pianist Rumiko Harada and flutist Enrique Sánchez. The peculiarity of the selection of the musical pieces lies in the fact that each of them was composed under the conditioning of the illness suffered by their composers. Ailments such as typhoid fever, colorectal cancer or heart failure are reflected in the psychological situation of the composers, as well as in the musical pieces themselves.

The concert will be held in a very special setting such as the fireplace room of the Can Balaguer house, and will thus become an intimate concert for 40 attendees. It will last approximately 55 minutes and the musicians who will perform the works will be: Rumiko Harada, on piano, and Enrique Sánchez, on flute. Attendance to the concert is by invitation only.

Rumiko Harada (Piano)

She studied piano at Tohogakuen School of Music in Tokyo with Kiyoko Tanaka. Later, she moved to Paris to continue her studies with Madame Lélia Gousseau, and began an intense musical activity, especially as a chamber music pianist.

He has collaborated with musicians such as Trevor Pinnock, Ruggiero Ricci, Roel Dieltiens, Nico van der Meel, Barbara Morihien, Eva Mei, Eric Hoeprich, Richte van der Meer, Barry Sargent, Charles Zebley, among others. He has also collaborated in multiple concerts with several symphonic and baroque orchestras in Spain.

Her projects include Hindemith Kammermusik and Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos with the Orquesta Ciudad de Granada, as well as the recording of Mozart’s sonatas for violin and fortepiano with Johannes Leetouwer.

She currently teaches at the Conservatorio Superior de las Illes Balears.

Enrique V. Sánchez Vidal (Flute)

He has collaborated with the Orquesta Nacional de España, the Orquesta de Radiotelevisión Española, the Orquesta de Valencia, the Orquesta de Granada, the Orquesta de Córdoba, the Real Filharmonía de Galicia, the Sinfónica de Madrid and the Filarmónica de Gran Canaria, among others.

He was trained at the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Valencia by Raúl Pérez and M.a Dolores Tomás and, later, by Vicens Prats, Francesc Crespí and, finally, by Antonio Arias, who instilled in him the constant concern in the search for repertoire, which led him to develop a fluid activity both in the chamber music field and as a soloist.

Since 1999 he has been a member of the Balearic Symphony Orchestra.
