The Councilor for Culture, Marisa Mingot, explained that the City Council applied for the annual grant call from the Alicante Provincial Council for cultural, musical, and performing arts activities. She noted that the performances featured professional companies and artists with recognized careers, aiming to promote culture from an early age and appeal to all audiences.
The grant specifically funded several events. In music, the performance “Waterfalls” took place in September at the Barbera auditorium. The poetic-musical recital “Marc Granell, Recitable” was held on October 31st in the Don Pedro hall.
