The X Classical Concerts Cycle, organized by the Classical Orchestra of Lanzarote (OCL) with the collaboration of Arrecife Culture, led by councilwoman Abigail González, paid tribute last Tuesday at the Agustín de la Hoz House of Culture to the director of the Musical Union of Lanzarote, Pepe Artiles.
The emotional event featured a piano performance by Melba Artiles, daughter of the honoree, horn professor María José González and double bassist Ivanoff Rodríguez, who performed a wide repertoire with works by Strauss, Ravel, Albéniz or Carlos Gardel among other composers.
