Diocese of Cartagena holds concert series

The monastery of Santa Ana and Santa María Magdalena in Lorca is hosting a concert series titled El juglar de Dios to mark the octavo centenario of the death of san Francisco de Asís. The Franciscan family is celebrating this Jubilee Year through the musical cycle, which uses music to share the legacy of the saint.

The second concert, titled Las llagas de san Francisco, is scheduled for September 17 at 20:30 in the monastery church. The duo Tessitura, featuring soprano Sara García and baritone and pianist Samuel Jesús Roldán, will perform. Franciscan priest José Hernández Valenzuela, OFM, will also provide reflections during the event.

The series continues with a performance by Ramón Muñoz Gonzálvez on October 30 at 20:00. The cycle will conclude on November 21 at 20:30 with a concert by organist Jaime Martínez Vivancos.
