We are closely monitoring the Paüls wildfire situation. The rest of the Eufònic programme will go ahead as planned, and we’ll keep you updated on any changes through our social media and usual channels.
At some point between 6 and 8 p.m. on October 29, 2024, at number 18 Lepanto Street in Paiporta, a Schimmel baby grand piano owned by musician Néstor Calderer flipped upside down. The force of the water had lifted it a meter off the ground, and shortly after, when the water depth exceeded 2 meters, it capsized. 220 kg of wood and metal floating in a brown whirlpool.
Néstor Calderer and Edu Comelles recover that piano, devastated by the DANA storm, and play it live, exposing its wounds. They combine it with a second piano, sampling, electronics, and ambient music in a performance that aims to be a living testimony of the reality in València—conveying a message of resilience through music.
