Interview with Carlos Benetó, member of Spanish Brass
Spanish Brass will travel to Newberry this November for a special free outdoor community concert. Carlos Benetó with Spanish Brass talks about performing around the world in over 50 countries during the 33 years of the group. “This is the magic of the job that we do. You can bring it wherever you want. You can connect easily when you are playing music on the stage. If you try to communicate with someone by talking, you can get some of it, but with music it is very simple and gets straight to your soul.” This sense of connection brought five students from the Spanish Youth Orchestra together in 1989. Carlos Winners of the remembers, “The very first concert that we played Spanish National for our colleagues in the orchestra was in the lunch Music Award in room.” Their colleagues challenged them to 2020 continue, but it wasn’t until they won first prize in the 6th International Brass Quintet Competition in 1996 and went on tour that they took the leap to quit their day jobs with professional orchestras. With over three decades of excellence and creativity, Spanish Brass was rewarded with the Spanish National Music Award in 2020. Carlos jokingly says that brass instruments don’t always get respect in the hierarchy of instruments, but this time they did. Carlos blushingly mentions, “This is the highest recognition in our country for a musician. During 2020 with so many performances canceled, we were not sure if we were going to go on. And, suddenly we got a call. It was them saying, ‘Hey guys you are doing great. Keep going!” What should be expected when Spanish Brass comes to Newberry? “Our goal is to try to help the audience see what a brass quintet can be…to take the audience on a journey from Baroque to Jazz to something really Spanish.”
