On Wednesday, December 4, at 18:30 h., The Canary Museum hosts a new guided tour starring music and musical documents. Fernando Betancor Pérez, the archiver of the institution, is in charge of showing visitors the importance of the Canary People's Music and Composers Archive, which preserves scores and other musical documents from the seventeenth century to the present day.
This guided tour around the musical backgrounds preserved in the archive of The Canary Museum takes as a reference point the written music – the scores – that the institution preserves. With these elements a tour is built through the genesis and growth of the collection, which serves to show the role played by The Canary Museum in the task of preserving this type of documents, demonstrating the great value that this archive has in the general context of the Spanish music archive.
The visit is accompanied, at certain times of the presentation, with the audition of musical works that have been recorded in the RALS collection based on the scores preserved in the archive. This is how it comes to highlighting how the file is alive, since the writing is transformed into sound. Pre-registration required.
