03 December 2018 - 16: 05

The Municipal Music Group of Santa María Magdalena made an emotional farewell tribute to the one who has been its director for the last six years, Javier Pinto. With the interpretation of My way of Frank Sinatra, Pinto was the last time he directed the Benitatxell band.

As a culmination to the celebration of Santa Cecilia, the children's and youth band performed a concert on Friday afternoon, and the Municipal Music Band was held on Saturday in the Church.

During the break the new musicians, the members of the renewed board of directors were introduced and a baton was given to the director Javier Pinto, who for personal reasons said goodbye.

The mayor, Miguel Ángel García, praised the power of music, "Music has the power to generate emotions, to make our hearts accelerate. Those of us who are not musicians, in evenings like this, we end up healthy envying that power to move, touch the heart and generate happiness."

For his part, the Councilor for Culture, Jorge Pascual, said that "More and more children are taking a musical instrument for the first time in their classrooms and thanks to the great work of the School of Music we have a great quarry. In this edition of Santa Cecilia, the children's and youth band has offered some wonderful concerts. "

Pinto said goodbye to the audience: "Always applaud the band when you see them parade, never complain, even if they ever do it badly, because these people leave their families to come to rehearse and they do it for the love of music."
