Various Menorcan artists have worked with him, such as Inventari, Jazz Do It, Tremendamente, S’Ensamble, Agrupació Musical de Ciutadella, Escolania Infantil de Ciutadella, etc.
Maria del Mar Bonet
Maria del Mar Bonet has always been related to the folklore of her homeland. The director of the Symphony Orchestra, Pablo Mielgo, stressed that she is a Balearic artist and a “universal Mediterranean citizen”. The concert to mark the 40th anniversary of the Statute is “an opportunity to get to know the identities of the Balearic Islands through music”, he added.
