Last week, the Casa de Cultura Auditorium hosted the Calpe Music Festival for the DANA flood to raise funds for two musical entities affected, specifically, La Unión Musical Catarroja and La Unión Musical La Artesana de Catarroja, which suffered serious material damage.
Various local artists performed free of charge at a gala that was a complete success, both in terms of the audience - the auditorium was completely full - and in terms of the quality of the participating artists. As reported at the interval of the event, the amount raised reached 6,620 euros. The organisers also offered a ‘zero line’ for those who were unable to attend the event.
The organiser of the event, Batiste Pastor, distributed the amount raised between the two music bands in the town of Catarroja, transferring 3,310 euros yesterday, Wednesday, to the account of the Societat Musical Unió, and another 3,310 euros to the account of the Sociedad Musical L'Artesana.
The presidents of both bands, José Peiró, president of the Unión Musical de Catarroja and Oscar Guillem, president of the Unión Musical La Artesana de Catarroja, have expressly thanked the citizens of Calpe for their solidarity.
