International Festival of Music and Dance of Granada
In the last few weeks, we have continued to prepare for our next date at the International Festival of Music and Dance of Granada on June 15 with La Sylphide. On this occasion, this past Monday we attended the colloquium conference organized at the Espacio Iberia in Madrid.
In this special meeting, with live music and surrounded by journalists, personalities and dance connoisseurs, attendees enjoyed the words of our current director, Joaquín De Luz, speaking about his career and the participation of the CND in the next edition of the Festival de Música y Danza de Granada on June 15. The critic and dance specialist Roger Salas conducted the interview, enlightening the audience with his great knowledge about Bournonville’s brilliant work.
