a short film by Manuel Vidal
“Shortly after finishing this concert one could contemplate the northern lights, which had not been seen with such intensity in Galicia since 1938. Perhaps those reached Galicia from the Finnish skies, as a nod from Jean Sibelius to the good direction of Sebastian Zinca at the other end of Europe.”

"Sebastian Zinca deployed all the power of the RFG to once again demonstrate that the Galician orchestra was right in appointing the American as assistant conductor. His Shostakovich's First is not only emphasis and passion, but also a careful attention to the structure, the voices, and the conceptual meaning of the symphony. The audience understood this, and the ovation matched what they heard."
