The Casa del Sagrado Corazón 'Cotolengo' in Málaga and the Asociación por la Igualdad de los Niños Gitanos 'Chavorrillos' have received the nearly 27,000 euros raised through the charitable access donation to the exhibition 'Y sonó la música. Iconografía musical en el arte'. The director of the Activities Division of the Fundación Unicaja, Cristina Rico, presented the donation to the director of Cotolengo, Patricio Fuentes, and to the president of Chavorrillos, Francisco Javier Pérez, as reported by the Diócesis de Málaga. In the case of Cotolengo, the money will serve to maintain the temporary emergency shelter service for people without housing or financial resources that it has provided in Málaga since 1965. Since the Diócesis took over the management of the center 13 years ago, more than 510 people of various nationalities and in circumstances such as serious illness, eviction, urgent dependency, severe disability or homelessness have passed through this shelter. Chavorrillos will allocate its share to defending the rights of Roma children and youth through comprehensive training and the dissemination of the cultural values of the Roma people. Since its creation in 1994, the organization has served 600 people with educational support and prevention of school dropout, leisure and socio-educational activities such as summer camps, direct attention to basic needs, management of extraordinary school scholarships, transportation and curricular materials.

A hundred pieces to explore music in art

The exhibition was held at the Centro Fundación Unicaja Málaga from July 28 to November 2 and brought together more than a hundred pieces including paintings, sculptures, engravings, photographs, documents and historical musical instruments. The tour ranged from the Middle Ages to the 20th century and included guided visits, concerts and lectures, with works by artists such as Picasso, Murillo, José de Ribera, Alonso Cano, Juan de Valdés Leal, Julio Romero de Torres, Joaquín Peinado and Rafael Alberti.
