"Ceremonies" at the International Wind Band Contest "City of Valencia"

Ellen’s Ceremonies was the compulsory work for Division I of the International Wind Band Contest “City of Valencia” that took place in July.

As they describe it, “For more than 130 years, the International Wind Band Contest ‘City of Valencia’ has helped to promote wind band music all over the world, as well as celebrating the most renowned Valencian musicians and prestigious composers. The dreamers of the late nineteenth century who suggested holding a "Music Contest" in Valencia could not have imagined that the Contest would become the most important music event for wind bands in the world, in which ensembles from the five continents take part every year. A Contest that strives year after year to continue to be a cultural reference point in the music world.”
