June 10, 2014: The advisors list for the Enrique Granados Centenary continues to grow with the addition of Jorge de Persia, Arturo Reverter, and Ángel Gil-Ordoñez.

Jorge de Persia is a musicologist, professor, and music critic. Formerly the director of the director of the Archivo Manuel de Falla in Granada, he is the author of numerous books, including publications on de Falla and his music. Arturo Reverter is one of the most distinguished music critics in Spain; he was a founder of the important music magazine, Scherzo. Ángel Gil-Ordoñez is the director of the PostClassical Music Ensemble, and is often featured as a guest conductor with the Perspectives Ensemble, artist-in-residence at the Foundation. He has been awarded the Royal Order of Queen Isabella by the King of Spain—the country’s highest civilian designation.

The Foundation is excited to have three such distinguished individuals on the advisory board.
