Mena y la BBC Phil inauguran el Festival de Santander

Ramón del Buey Cañas, 5th August

Con el empaste orgánico y la complicidad construida concierto a concierto desde 2011, el tándem BBC-Mena vibró, bailó y estremeció. El torrente sonoro cuidó hasta el menor recoveco de pentagrama, cuajando el mejor de los augurios para lo que resta de festival.

Peter Connors

Peter has been attending concerts and operas enthusiastically since his parents took him to see The Mikado in Liverpool when he was a boy of ten and to a “family concert” given by the RLPO a year or so later. Peter studied Modern Languages at Worcester College, Oxford and Law in Manchester. After spending twenty years as a pensions lawyer in Manchester, he retrained as a teacher of English as a foreign language, which took him to Germany and to Serbia. With the onset of the pandemic he returned to the UK and now works online and frequents concert halls and theatres in the North West of England.
