The gala, part of the Regional Musical Activities Campaign, included the presentation of the Pentagram Ribera Alta 2026 Awards.

In her speech, she emphasized the importance of promoting musical initiatives and highlighted that the awards value the associative, artistic, and cultural fabric of the musical societies, considering them one of the most significant cultural drivers in the Valencian territory.
“"Events like the ones we have enjoyed today in our Cultural Center are further proof that all institutions must promote and support any movement and initiative where music and its musicians are the protagonists. The Pentagram Ribera Alta awards are an example, as they highlight the associative, artistic, and cultural fabric of the region's musical societies, which are one of the most important cultural engines of the Valencian territory."
Additionally, the Benifaió Artistic Society received a distinction for its outstanding participation in federal activities. The society's president, Paco Grau, accepted the award from the entity's Music Muse, Lucía Ventura Guillén.
