The young members of the Trío Minué bring the Atlantic Festival to Lanzarote
The Minué Trio is a new chamber group that emerges in the Canary Islands and which premieres at the Real Club Nautico de Lanzarote under the auspices of the Atlantic Festival, this Saturday, December 15 at 8:00 p.m.
Its short life and low average age is largely compensated by the strong presence and complicity of its members. Endowed with a musicality and expressiveness not common for their ages, the three young people add to their indisputable musical qualities different personal nuances that complement each other.
According to the RAE ‘minue’ is a “musical composition of ternary compass that accompanies the eighteenth-century French dance of the same name”. The name chosen by the trio symbolizes the purpose of it, to spread joy for classical music.
Incipient trajectory
It was at the “II Mapfre Guanarteme Foundation Contest”, which took place at the end of February 2018 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, where it all began. There is the meeting between Álvaro de Castro González (14, violin, Lanzarote) and the brothers Lídia Dias de Castro (17, piano, Gran Canaria) and Luis Dias Canali (9, cello, idem) who win, respectively, the prize for strings and the 1st prize in the category 8-12 years and 13-16 years.
Months later, in the rehearsals and concert of the soloists-winners with the young Orquestra IBF and under the baton of virtuoso violinist Abel Tomás, the young people meet again and the idea materializes.
