In a wonderful Suzuki encounter, three groups of violinists and cellists came together to offer a series of two concerts. The elegance of Málaga Violín Suzuki, the passion of Cordes Espai Educatiu de Alboraya, and the grace of Aula Suzuki de Buñol fused together to delight the audience with their musical artistry.

One of these concerts took place in the majestic Buñol’s Montecarlo Theater, which provided the perfect setting for this unique performance. In addition to these talented musicians, Nitty Music also participated in the event playing the cello alongside her teacher, Maite Galarza.
The musical program included a wide variety of pieces, but one that stood out was “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” (also known as “Campanitas del lugar” or “Estrellita, del lugar”), a very popular children’s and Christmas song in many countries. The song is known in French as “Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,” in English as “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” and in German as “Morgen kommt der Weihnachtsmann.” Although the first written appearance of the song is in French in 1761, it has become a globally recognized melody.
It is interesting to note that there is a common confusion about the authorship of this piece. Many people believe that the music was written by Mozart, but this is incorrect. Mozart wrote 12 variations on the original French melody, which are listed as KV 265 (later KV 300e). Furthermore, there is another confusion about the song, and that is that many people think it is a children’s song. However, the original French text was not created for children, suggesting that the song was adapted for a young audience at some point.
It is worth noting that there are many versions of the original melody in other languages, and in English, the song shares the melody with other popular songs such as the Alphabet Song, Baa, Baa, Black Sheep, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. This song, in all its forms and variations, has remained a musical treasure throughout the centuries, enchanting audiences of all ages.
