“Music Transcends Time and Space”
This reflection of a famous musician is very accurate, for the title of this new meeting that proposes to celebrate Musicians' Day and its patron Saint Cecilia, consecrated and recognized in Rome for her exaltation of music at crucial moments. Music goes beyond regardless of time or places. Cecilia sang to maintain her dignity and pass it on for generations to anyone who also felt the need to express emotions through the vibrant notes of the melodies of the Universe.
Those who have been able to turn the sounds of Nature into dreamy tones. Those who have been gifted to create symphonies, imagined and dreamed or reproduce them from the heavenly song of the birds or the majestic mountain breezes, or those who were born with their own instrument and make their vocal cords the most supernatural of sounds , being able to mimic violins and flutes, harps and trumpets.
Yes, music transcends the most hidden places of the soul and body, making even the rudest of the cold icebergs of silence vibrate with emotion.
The young people who perform and sing at this International Music Day meeting (Santa Cecilia), are musicians who are already part of that wonderful world of sounds, notes, melodies,..that enchant souls.

The Santa Iglesia Catedral-Basílica de Canarias or Catedral-Basílica de Santa Ana is a cathedral, Holy See of the Diocese of the Canary Islands of the Catholic Church, which is located in the historic center of the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, in Vegueta neighborhood, next to Plaza Mayor de Santa Ana. Every November 26th takes place the celebration of the dedication of this cathedral. It is considered the most important monument of Canarian religious architecture
This was the first church built in all the Canary Islands. It was raised by order of the Catholic Monarchs after the conquest of the island of Gran Canaria. Its construction began in the 16th century, but it was not finished until almost 4 centuries later, so several different architects and artists contributed, leaving as a result up to three different architectural styles: Gothic, Renaissance and Neoclassical.
