This was communicated by the president of the provincial institution, Benjamín Prieto, during the meeting recently held at the Provincial Palace with a representation of the Board of Directors of this polyphonic group, headed by its president Marisol Alcalá.

Prieto has highlighted the special interest of the Provincial Council in the promotion of culture, which is materialized with different lines of support, such as the well-known Talía Program, with the aim of not only collaborating with groups in the province, be they music bands, choirs, folk groups, rondallas, choral masses, etc..., but also to contribute to the revitalization of the cultural activity of our municipalities.

And, from his point of view, we must keep in mind the outstanding role of these groups, both in the maintenance and enrichment of our musical heritage and in the introduction of fans into the world of music; all of this, without leaving aside its projection outside our borders with participation in international events. Such is the case of the Masa Coral Association of Minglanilla, which this year intends to participate in the 55th edition of the European Championship in Viseu (Portugal), where so far more than 5,000 people from more than 188 groups of 23 nationalities have registered. Figures that, in his opinion, make it an unparalleled showcase to promote and make the name of Minglanilla and Cuenca known in Europe.
