At the Banco Sabadell Foundation, we believe in the importance of making cultural events and the arts accessible to different audiences throughout Spain, that is why, we collaborate with outstanding cultural events that promote emerging talent. This commitment is embodied by our support to various leading music festivals that share our values. These events not only enrich the cultural life of our communities, but also inspire people through creativity and innovation. These are just some of them:

• Las Piedras Cantan (The Stones Sing) – 8, 22, 29 June and 14 and 25 July – This festival fusions music with Spain’s historical and cultural heritage. It is held in emblematic places in Castilla y León, allowing music lovers to enjoy concerts in unique settings, which enriches the cultural experience and reinforces the connection with history. All the concerts are free and will take place this year in four castles and one collegiate church.

• IX edición Bachcelona – from 12 to 27 July – Dedicated to the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, this festival encourages participatory proposals, outreach activities and also supports young talent, promoting interactions with prestigious artists.
