Summer at Condado de Haza: Music & Solidarity

This year’s concert has been a fund-raising event, in favor of research against Alzheimer disease.

Once more Summer brought a wonderful concert to Condado de Haza estate. Tradition was repeated in this fourth consecutive edition, and the Voronezh Russian State Academic Symphonic Orchestra, directed by Ramón Torrelledó and escorted by prestigious soloists, fulfilled the audience expectations last July 28th.

Following the path began last year – with tremendous success – the program included some popular pieces from Spanish authors. And also an exhibition of Cante Flamenco, performed by Carmen Linares and the guitar players José Manuel León and Eduardo Pacheco. The fusion of a powerful russian orchestra, conducted by a Spanish maestro, side by side with great voices and soloists, and the Vaccea Chorus, executing as both classical and popular songs such as ‘El Amor Brujo’, ‘La Gran Vía’ or the prelude of ‘El tambor de Granaderos” has been, there is no doubt, a reason for the public to be thankful.

The great innovation of this edition of the Summer Concert at Condado de Haza was its beneficent character. It was the first time that an entrance fee has been charged (30E by person), and all the takings we allocated to the investigations against Alzheimer Disease (Association of families from people that suffer from Alzheimer – Valladolid). The event, naturally festive, became also an opportunity to contribute to a noble cause.

Once again, Alejandro Fernández gathered wine and culture on a wonderful ambience: the ‘château’ Condado de Haza, a set of Castilian buildings surrounded by vineyards.

But, this time an important component of solidarity has been added, something that is already a tradition in Pesquera Corporation.

Good music, good wine... and good heart. We cannot ask for more.
