MusaE, ‘Las piedras cantan’, promoted by Fundación Santa María la Real del Patrimonio Histórico and sponsored by Banco Sabadell Foundation, has the objective of dynamising art and heritage through music, helping to develop the careers of young performers and promoting places of significant historical interest.

To fulfil this objective, a total of six concerts will be held at places of historic interest. Prior to each concert there will be a guided tour of the venue hosting the concert, and all of the activities are open entry and free to attend, until the venue is full.
