On October 15, Cecilia Rodrigo, daughter of Joaquín Rodrigo and President of Ediciones Joaquín Rodrigo, gave a commemorative lecture titled, “Joaquín Rodrigo y la danza” for the Dance Department of the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid. The Department bears the name of the famous dancer, Alicia Alonso, who choreographed Rodrigo's Concierto serenata a few years ago. Notably, the students of this dance department have also been performing various dances choreographed to the music of Joaquín  Rodrigo throughout the composer's 100th anniverary year.

The composer’s extraordinary skill to transform a solo guitar piece in an orchestral work” at the Andres Segovia International Festival in Madrid.
