Santa Eulària Celebrates Santa Cecilia with Joint Concert by Its Youth and Municipal Bands

08. November 2026

The Banda Juvenil and Banda Municipal de Música de Santa Eulària will come together on Saturday, 14 November 2026, for a special concert celebrating Santa Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians. Organised by the Escola Municipal de Música de Santa Eulària des Riu, the performance will take place at 19:00 at the Palau de Congressos de Santa Eulària, bringing together young musicians and members of the municipal band for an evening of film music and historical compositions.

Admission will be free, although advance reservations will be required through the Santa Eulària Town Council website.

The programme will be divided into two sections, each offering a different musical experience. The youth band will perform a selection of compositions including music from Jurassic Park, while the municipal band will take audiences on a musical journey through different historical periods, cultures and prominent figures.

The Youth Band Opens with Film Music and Traditional Band Repertoire

The first part of the concert will feature the Banda Juvenil de la Escola Municipal de Música, conducted by Quico Martínez.

The young musicians will perform three compositions showcasing different styles and musical influences.

The programme will begin with Los Educandos, by A. Martínez, followed by Es Freus, composed by Frank J. Cogollos.

The section will conclude with Themes from Jurassic Park, featuring music by renowned film composer John Williams from Steven Spielberg's famous dinosaur adventure film.

The selection combines traditional concert-band repertoire with internationally recognised film music, providing an opportunity to showcase the musical development and abilities of the school's younger performers.

The Municipal Band Presents a Musical Journey Through History

The second part will be led by the Banda Municipal de Música de Santa Eulària, under the direction of Frank Cogollos.

Its programme, titled Un viatge musical a través de la història (A Musical Journey Through History), will take audiences through different historical periods and cultures using four descriptive and cinematic compositions.

The journey will begin with 8 de febrer, by Vicente Ortiz.

This will be followed by The Falcon of Egypt, composed by Rossano Galante, a work inspired by ancient Egypt and characterised by musical passages evoking mystery, strength and drama.

The programme will then move to the Iberian Peninsula with La Ruta del Cid, by David Rivas, a composition inspired by the historical figure of El Cid Campeador and the territories associated with his story.

The final performance will be Imperator Carlomagno, by Pere Sanz, dedicated to Charlemagne, one of the most influential figures in medieval European history.

Together, the four compositions create a musical itinerary extending from ancient Egypt to medieval Europe, using orchestral storytelling to bring historical settings and personalities to life.

Celebrating Santa Cecilia and Local Musical Education

Santa Cecilia is traditionally celebrated on 22 November and is recognised as the patron saint of musicians. Concerts and musical performances mark the occasion in communities across Spain and elsewhere.

In Santa Eulària, the annual celebration provides an opportunity to recognise the work of the municipal music school and its musical groups.

The participation of both the youth and municipal bands also highlights the relationship between music education and community cultural life, bringing together musicians at different stages of their musical development.
