Unió Musical d'Algímia: extraordinary concert at Palau de la Música

The Unió Musical d'Algímia will perform at the Sala Iturbi of the Palau de la Música de Valencia on 13 September 2026 at 11:30 in a free concert. The event commemorates their First Prize and Honourable Mention at the 137th edition of the International Band Contest Ciudad de Valencia (CIBM) 2025, one of the most prestigious competitions in the genre.

Under the direction of Xesco Guillem i Escobar, the band’s principal conductor since 2018, and with Llorenç Mendoza i Ruiz as guest conductor, the ensemble will perform a programme yet to be revealed, though it will undoubtedly reflect the standard that earned them recognition at the CIBM.

The Unió Musical d'Algímia

Founded in 1925 in Algímia d'Alfara (Camp de Morvedre), the band has maintained an uninterrupted trajectory, blending tradition and modernity. Its principal conductor, Xesco Guillem, has led the ensemble in two periods (2012–2015 and since 2018), consolidating its sound and participating in numerous competitions. This concert at the Palau de la Música is a showcase of their work and a tribute to their recent success.
