Plans for the May bank holiday in Oviedo
· Carmen París: “PARIS AT THE PIANO”
Date: Friday, May 01, 2026 at 20:30 p.m.
Location: Philharmonic Theatre.
It's an intimate, personal show where Carmen París holds nothing back. It's a moment of sincerity and connection with the audience. Carmen knows our music and our roots like few others, and she masterfully blends them with influences from distant lands to give meaning to her art and her understanding of life itself. Alone, accompanied only by a piano, she performs the best of her repertoire. Songs that time has refined and given substance to, in some cases, and others that retain the freshness of the moment they were written.
