Pianist Marco Mezquida. | R.C.
From Minorca, Marco Mezquida graduated from the Catalonia School of Music in 2009 and embarked on a career as a pianist that can't be pigeonholed, as he is capable of moving seamlessly from genre to genre.
Proof of this is that in two neighbouring Mallorcan municipalities, Pollensa and Sa Pobla, he has performed at their major music festivals - the classical Pollensa Festival (with a Beethoven collage) and the Sa Pobla Jazz Festival.
His style therefore embraces these different genres, with influences coming from Schubert on one side and from Keith Jarrett on the other. His recordings have brought him awards, such as the Enderrock Best Jazz Disc for 'Live in Tokyo' in 2020.
With the Manacor Band of Music, this mix will be reflected in a programme that features Aaron Copland's 'Fanfare for the Common Man' and George Gershwin's 'Rhapsody in Blue'.
