The concert will be performed by the Tempo Giusto Musical Association, which has two decades of experience, and will feature a program of zarzuela choruses and romanzas. The performance will take place at the venue located at 13 Madre Rafols Street and will include several soloists alongside the Tempo Giusto Choir.
Under the direction of Ricardo Soláns Armillas, the performers will include soprano Mariángel Vásquez, tenor Fabio Scé and baritone Emilio Segura, accompanied on piano by Javier Montañés. The program will feature more than a dozen pieces, and admission will be free, although attendees will be able to make a voluntary contribution to the emergency effort.
PROCEEDS WILL GO TO FAMILIES IN CHOCÓ
The funds raised will support affected families in Colombia’s Chocó region, particularly low-income Afro-descendant and Indigenous communities. The organization notes that, in addition to the consequences of the earthquakes, these populations face problems related to poverty, inequality and access to basic services.
Before the concert, the Juan Bonal Foundation will set up a small exhibition to explain the context of the emergency and the needs in the area. Sister Maritza Peralta Araya explained that the aim is for attendees to learn about the situation facing these communities and how the funds raised will be used before entering the chapel.
The financial contribution will be voluntary, although the Foundation hopes the music will help mobilize attendees’ solidarity. Those unable to attend will also be able to contribute through a bank donation or Bizum, indicating "Terremoto Colombia" as the reference and, if they want a tax-deductible donation certificate, including their national ID number.
ON-THE-GROUND AID WITH THE CLARETIAN MISSIONARIES
The work promoted from Zaragoza is complemented on the ground by the efforts of the Claretian Missionaries, who have accompanied communities in the Colombian municipality of Medio Atrato for years. The Juan Bonal Foundation continues its emergency response alongside this congregation and the Sisters of Charity of Saint Anne.
援助 is channelled through the Claretian Mission Procuratorate to assist families that have suffered significant losses. The main needs identified include food, medicine, clothing, fuel and other basic supplies, compounded by access difficulties caused by distances and communications.
Through this concert, the organizing entities aim to involve Zaragoza society in the solidarity response and raise awareness of the situation facing communities in Chocó. The initiative also seeks to maintain support beyond the immediate emergency response and strengthen aid for affected families.
