Thus, they will carry out the recital on June 22 at 8:00 p.m. in the Plaza Miguel Moya of the aforementioned town of Hoya de Huesca.

A traveller and unrepentant gourmet, he usually resides between Berlin and Palma de Mallorca where he collaborates with various photographers and visual artists.

“Alla Rústica” is a string quartet formed by professional Aragonese instrumentalists who carry out an intense orchestral, chamber and teaching activity throughout Aragon, and have been awarded the National Prize for the best social work in 2005 for the educational concert cycle “Música de cerca”.

The quartet will feature Pedro Beltrán on viola, Adoración Sánchez on first violin, Hugo Beltrán on second violin, and Jorge Marco on cello. “Alla Rústica” is considered the best Aragonese group in music performances, according to the Aragonese Network of Performing Spaces.
