«¡Despegamos!», the concert. First year class A, C.

Last Tuesday, the 28th of March all the first year students went to the Príncipe de Asturias auditorium. There, we enjoyed an amazing concert, ¡«Despegamos»!, that was performed by the OSPA. The conductor of the orchestra was Rosen Milanov. He conducted the orchestra very well. First, the conductor introduced the different instrumental groups and musical instruments and, after that, the performance started. It was very interesting, because they played music related to space like Moonlight by Claude Debussy or Blast Off by Daniel Dorff. In this piece Ana Pérez, student of the ESAD acted as narrator and told us that we were going to go to space. We heard the instruments imitating the sound made by the engines of the rocket that was supposed to take us to space. 

The orchestra also played some themes that everybody knew from the Star Wars soundtrack, like the Main titles, the Imperial March and Princess Leia´s theme, all of them composed by John Williams. At the end of the performance some players dressed up as the main characters of Star Wars. They performed one of the most popular scenes of Star Wars, when Luke Skywalker fights against Darth Vader, who says «Luke, I’m your father».

At the end, when we were leaving, a journalist asked Jorge questions about the concert and he said: the concert was awesome and very interesting, and we had a lot of fun. We enjoyed it a lot!
