Stage set with a microphone for a proclamation in a cultural setting.

Pianist and teacher Ignacio Clemente will open the San Juan patron saint festivities in Telde this Friday, June 12, at the Rincón Plácido Fleitas.

The event, scheduled for 8:00 PM in the historic center of Telde, holds special significance as it coincides with the 675th anniversary of the city's founding. The speaker highlighted that his address will be an emotional journey through his roots, his artistic training, and his family's deep connection to the municipality.
The musician's career is intrinsically linked to the cultural life of Gran Canaria. During his speech, he will emphasize the importance of musical education in the area, recalling the work of former academies such as Musical Telde, which were essential for the training of many local students.

"Society should also be measured by culture, especially by culture and music. It is the center of my life and says a lot about societies."

Beyond nostalgia, the speech will aim to project a vision for the future of Telde. The speaker stressed that the city's anniversary should not be limited to remembering the past, but should serve as an impetus to harness the historical and cultural potential that the municipality possesses.
