The Adolfo Marsillach Municipal Theater (TAM) in San Sebastián de los Reyes will commemorate Hispanic Day on October 11 with a concert titled 'Homage to America', dedicated to the musical universe of Francisco Alonso, a prominent figure in Spanish zarzuela.

The performance, by the Atlántida Chamber Orchestra, will offer a journey through the composer's famous and lesser-known pieces, presented in instrumental arrangements by Manuel Tévar. The program will include works inspired by international rhythms of the 1930s and 1940s, such as foxtrot, swing, and samba, promising a vibrant, elegant, and colorful experience.
The Atlántida Chamber Orchestra, founded in 2015 and led by pianist, composer, and conductor Manuel Tévar, has established itself as one of Spain's most dynamic chamber ensembles. The orchestra is recognized for the energy, precision, and innovation in its performances, blending artistic excellence with a fresh approach to the repertoire.
This event is part of the city's Hispanic Day commemoration. The work of Francisco Alonso, a key figure in Spanish zarzuela, will be revisited through instrumental arrangements that will bring his most emblematic compositions and less explored gems to life.
