More than sixty guests gathered at Espai La Senieta on Saturday 4th April for the 2nd Annual Provincial Piano Recital, warmly welcomed by the organiser, W. Bro. Peter Johnson. The atmosphere was one of anticipation and pride as friends, family, and members of the Masonic community settled in for an evening dedicated to musical excellence.
W. Bro. Peter Johnson opens the evening
Professor (Bro) István Székely introduces his students
Professor (Bro) István Székely opened the recital by introducing his talented students — Arianna Roselló Sanchez, Isabel Cabrera Oláh, Daniel Kovacs, and Luis Cabello — each of whom performed a selection of works by some of the world’s most celebrated composers, including Bach, Chopin, Liszt, Debussy, and Brahms.
The audience was captivated throughout. Every performance was met with enthusiastic applause, reflecting both the technical skill and expressive maturity of the young musicians. Many attendees later commented on the remarkable standard of the recital and the joy of witnessing such emerging talent.
At the close of the evening, Professor Székely thanked the audience for their support. He explained that this year he wished to give his students the opportunity to shine — and shine they certainly did. With a smile, he added that next year he intends to personally perform for half of the concert, a promise that was met with warm approval.
In a final gesture of appreciation, W. Bro. Peter Johnson presented each performer with a Chocolate Easter Egg, much to their delight.
Thanks to ticket sales and a well‑supported bar — expertly managed by W. Bro. Malcolm March, Margaret March, and Florence Johnson — the event raised over €1,000. These funds will all be donated to the ongoing refurbishment works at the new Marina Alta Masonic Centre.
A memorable evening of music, fellowship, and generosity — and a proud moment for all involved.
