Spain – After 68 years the Salesian band in Cabezo de Torres returns

07 June 2024

Cabezo de Torres, Spain – June 2024 – The Salesians in Cabezo de Torres have re-established their band. It was founded in 1957 by Salesian Fr Filiberto Peris, who began the Band of Horns and Drums atf the Salesian School in Cabezo de Torres, thanks to the valuable collaboration of Mrs. Carolina Codorniú, who financed the purchase of the instruments. In 2022, the Salesian school enthusiastically resumed the initiative, re-.establishing the band with current music students. The group mainly accompanies the Virgin in the procession of Mary Help of Christians, but the joy and desire of the youngsters to fill the school and the city with music means that little by little they are daring to make some musical auditions, such as the welcome to the Vice-Provincial of the Salesian María Auxiliadora Province who was visiting the town. They performed the Hymn to Don Bosco,  congratulations to the Cabezo de Torres Youth Music Group on its 40th anniversary, a group that, in turn, was founded by Salesian Fr Salvador Olivella in 1982. In 2024, 67 years after its foundation, and coinciding with the 200th anniversary of Don Bosco's childhood dream, the Saint Dominic Savio Band returned to parade through the streets of the town with almost 30 children and young people from 8 to 17 years old.
