No political rally in 2024 has filled Bogotá’s Plaza de Bolívar three times in a single night. It’s evident that Colombians are tired of hateful narratives… they want spectacular culture for free. #navidadescultura

La Música Nos Une
#colombiaesmusicasacra The International Sacred Music Festival of Colombia (FIMSAC) has launched a remarkable nine-destination tour, bringing the profound beauty of sacred music to communities affected by Colombia’s internal conflict and vulnerable populations with limited access to cultural events. The festival showcases timeless works by great composers, including Antonio Vivaldi, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, while celebrating music’s ability to inspire, heal, and unite.
The third stop on this ambitious tour was Belalcázar, a picturesque town in the department of Caldas, known for its iconic Christ the King monument. Here, the talented musicians of the Filarmonia Juvenil del Café delivered a stirring performance of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, enchanting the audience with the vivid energy and emotional depth of the masterpiece. The program also featured sacred arias, creating an evening filled with spiritual resonance and cultural enrichment.
Following the success in Belalcázar, FIMSAC’s next destination is Guapí, in the department of Cauca, where the festival will continue its mission to bring world-class sacred music to historically underserved regions. With its diverse repertoire and outreach focus, FIMSAC not only highlights Colombia’s vibrant musical talent but also reinforces the unifying and transformative power of music in bridging divides and uplifting communities across the nation. #lamúsicanosune #colombiaesmusicasacra #elpaísdelabelleza #Belalcázar #guapi Marianna Piotrowska

Colombia Es Música Sacra
The International Sacred Music Festival of Colombia (FIMSAC) has embarked on an inspiring nationwide tour, bringing the transformative power of music to communities deeply affected by Colombia’s internal conflict and to vulnerable populations who have yet to experience the works of renowned composers. With a mission to foster healing and cultural enrichment, FIMSAC features performances of sacred music spanning diverse religious traditions, including masterpieces by Antonio Vivaldi, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The festival’s third destination was the picturesque town of Belalcázar in the department of Caldas. Against the stunning backdrop of the town’s towering Christ the King monument, musicians from the Filarmonia Juvenil del Café delivered an extraordinary performance. Their rendition of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons captivated the audience, transporting them through the composer’s vivid depictions of nature’s cycles. The concert also featured sacred arias, imbuing the evening with a profound sense of spiritual and cultural connection.
Through these performances, FIMSAC is not only showcasing the beauty of classical music but also building bridges between Colombia’s diverse communities. By reaching areas often overlooked by large-scale cultural initiatives, the festival is offering moments of solace and joy, underscoring music’s universal ability to inspire and unite. #colombiaesmusicasacra #lamusicanosune #elpaísdelabelleza
