Some concerts are easy listening.
Others involve contemporary percussion, electronic soundscapes, Emily Dickinson and deep conversations about artistic creation.
This one definitely falls into the second category.
FMUC 2026 Opens on May 29th
🎵 FMUC 2026 Opening Concert
📅 Friday 29th May 2026
⏰ 7:30pm
The new edition of FMUC opens with a concert-dialogue featuring:
🎤 Tenor Airam Hernández
🥁 Percussionist Verónica Cagigao
Alongside works premiering from several contemporary composers.
A Programme Mixing Music, Poetry and Electronics
The evening will include first performances of works by:
🎼 José Luis Perdigón
🎼 Mario Carro
🎼 Samuel Aguilar
🎼 Sergio Blardony
Including:
🌌 Enceladus — José Luis Perdigón
A piece exploring atmospheric sound textures
📖 Poemas de la Isla — Mario Carro
Based on texts by Josefina de la Torre
💔 Del Llanto — Samuel Aguilar
Inspired by Federico García Lorca
⚡ …and Suddenness — Sergio Blardony
Combining electronics with poetry by Emily Dickinson
Which honestly sounds like the sort of concert where you leave either deeply inspired…or quietly pretending you fully understood everything.
Young Musicians Also Take Part
The event will also feature students from the Professional Percussion Department of the Conservatorio Profesional de Música de Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Adding younger talent into a programme centred around contemporary musical creation and experimentation.
More Than Just a Concert
FMUC describes the evening as a close and interactive encounter between:
🎼 Composers
🎭 Performers
👥 The audience
With conversations and anecdotes woven into the performance itself.
So not the type of event where everyone politely claps and immediately heads for the exit.

Worth Knowing
Contemporary classical music events aren’t always the easiest sell.
But they do make a refreshing change from hearing the same eight songs at every fiesta on the island.
