The municipal band of Alhaurín de la Torre is collaborating with nine local primary schools to present a musical initiative featuring children aged nine to eleven, which will take place on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 April.

‘Alhaurín en clave de rock’ will present performances, held in the El Portón municipal auditorium by around 400 children, who will be accompanied by 75 instrumentalists.

This concept is unique in the province and has very few examples. It’s like a rock school, where the goal is to foster a love of music in the classroom.

Participants will perform original versions of Spanish pop and rock classics from the latter half of 20th century. The repertoire will include songs from Mecano and Marisol through to Nino Bravo and Alaska. These are some of the most famous figures in Spanish pop and rock culture.

The project was started in the run-up to Christmas 2025 on a small scale. After the success of last year’s event, it was decided to continue the project this year. The entire educational community will participate in the event.

Donations of up to five euros are required for entry. This donation, according to the organizers, will cover production expenses.

Doors open at 7pm. The event begins each day at 8pm.
