A band more than a century and a half old

The Banda Municipal de Música del Ayuntamiento de Málaga was founded in 1859 and is one of the oldest in Spain. For years it was the city's only own and stable musical ensemble. Its purpose is to spread and bring music closer to the public and to contribute to its teaching, with a concert season throughout the year, performances for schoolchildren and associations, and a presence at the city's official events.

How to attend

The concert is on Sunday, October 11, at 18:30 on the esplanade of the Santuario de la Victoria. No ticket or registration is needed: access is free and open until the venue's capacity is reached.
