"Rebellion at conference room"

"Rebellion on the conference room" is the degree scroll of this concert in allusion to the novel "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, in which the album "Animals" is inspired. For this reason, during the interpretation of the songs of this album, the music will be interspersed with the reading of some fragments of the book. In this way, according to Alberto Navascués, "the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Navarra wants to unite music and literature in this anniversary dedicated to a solidary cause with its support to the Helpify platform". Thus, the concert counts in turn with the partnership of the Public Libraries of Navarra.
