The festival ‘Serenates’ celebrates its 30th anniversary. It takes place at the Cultural Centre La Nau of the Universitat de València and it started on 24 June and will finish on 9 July. Under the direction of the Valencian young Albert Gonzálvez Cardós, the audience will be able to listen an undoubtedly attractive musical programming which, apart from that, has a training, educational and solidary character since it will be for the benefit of the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC) of València.

The experience of previous years of including young musicians of the Philharmonic Orchestra of the UV into the Valencia Orchestra will be repeated this year. Therefore, some of the works which will be included are: ‘Pedro y el lobo’ of Prokófiev, an educational work for all ages with the performance of the narrator Ángel Fígols, a great Valencian actor; ‘El aprendiz a brujo’, of Paul Dukas, which is rhythmic, magical and present in the collective imagination thanks to the Disney film ‘Fantasy’ as well as the intriguing and coloristic ‘La Mer’ of Debussy.
