Yesterday Ibiza celebrated an emotionally charged milestone: the 100th anniversary of the City of Ibiza Symphonic Band. A century of music that, as recalled by the mayor of the capital,
A cultural reference with a century of experience
During his speech at the commemorative concert, Triguero stressed that the Symphonic Band has established itself throughout these hundred years as a cultural pillar of the island, present in popular festivals, institutional events and concerts that have marked the collective memory of generations of Ibizans.
“It has become a cultural reference, maintaining its musical tradition and adapting to the changes of time, always with dedication and commitment,” said the mayor before an audience that filled the space provided for the occasion by the Pereyra Theater, a historic venue that hosted the celebration of September 9 and 11, in addition to yesterday’s event.
Acknowledgements to musicians and collaborators
Triguero wanted to recognize the work of all the people who have been part of the Symphonic Band in its different stages: musicians, directors and collaborators who, as he remarked, “have made it possible for this band to continue offering quality music and training new generations”.
His work, he said, contributes to bringing music to all citizens, strengthening the cultural fabric of the capital and expanding access to audiences of all ages.
The mayor also thanked especially the collaboration of the Pereyra Theater for the cession of its emblematic space, which allowed to dress with symbolism and tradition such a significant concert.
Municipal commitment to culture
Triguero closed his speech reaffirming the support of the City Council to artistic creation and initiatives that keep alive the sound identity of the city: “From the City Council will continue to support and recognize the importance of culture and music. This celebration is one more step to continue promoting all those who make it possible for our city to continue to sound”.
The event concluded with a standing ovation dedicated to the City of Ibiza Symphonic Band, which begins its second century of life with the same vocation that saw its birth: to bring music to every corner of the island.
