Today the Office of Culture of the Consell de Formentera presented the summer 2023 programme of Music in the Squares (Música a les Places). Styles like world music, Latin music, blues, soul, rock, heavy metal and jazz will once again electrify the air in the squares of Sant Ferran, Es Pujols and Sant Francesc and La Savina's waterfront promenade.
As Vanessa Parellada, acting culture councillor, explained, "just as we've done before, we'll liven up the summer nights by bringing the music of local artists to residents and visitors. Four times a week varying public spaces on the island will become the perfect backdrop for open-air enjoyment".
La Savina
Mondays in La Savina are all about Mondays at the Port (Dilluns al Port). From 10.00pm, 19 June to 11 September, live musical performances will set the promenade abuzz.
Es Pujols
Plaça d'Europa in Es Pujols will host World Music, with an appearance from one of the series' veterans: Antena Libre. Performances will start at 10.00pm every Thursday, 15 June to 26 October, pausing in August.
Sant Ferran
Fridays from 10.00pm, 16 June to 22 September, Plaça de l'Església in Sant Ferran, too, will welcome the return of a Formentera summer classic: Live Music (Música en Viu). All summer long, the Formentera Musical Association will take the lead livening up this square.
Sant Francesc
Saturdays from 10.00pm in the Plaça de la Constitució, the legendary Jazz in the Square (Jazz a la Plaça) will see concerts from Formentera's favourite jazz band. Shows are scheduled every Saturday 17 June to 23 September (except for the week of 16-23 July, when the performance happens on Sunday, and Saturday 5 August, when the series takes a break).
Collaborations
This musical initiative, fruit of an agreement between the Consell de Formentera and Estrella Galicia, benefits from the collaboration of Jazz & Co, Formentera Musical Association, Antena Libre, Residents' Association of La Savina and Port Authority of the Balearic Islands.
