Las piedras cantan is a cycle of concerts held as part of the Musae project, which is aimed at giving impetus to art and heritage through music, furthering the careers of young performers and making known unique places of great historical interest.
Promoted by Acción Cultural Española and Fundación Santa María la Real del Patrimonio Histórico with the support of Fundación Banco Sabadell, and curated by Fundación Eutherpe, Las piedras cantan sets out to show that any historical place can be an ideal concert venue and that music is the perfect excuse for familiarising audiences with heritage.
