August 31 Two ancient music events in Alhama during the 2024 ECOS concert season
The ECOS festival showcases early music performed in the spectacular scenery of Sierra Espuña
The ECOS festival, which has become a fixture in the late summer cultural calendar of Murcia in recent years and is now celebrating its 8th edition, consists of a series of events, mostly concerts, including “family concerts” during the morning to make the music available to audiences of all ages.
This year’s season includes two concerts at the Los Baños archaeological museum in Alhama de Murcia:
12.00: ENSEMBLES of the ORCHESTRA OF THE UNIVERSIDAD DE MURCIA in a family concert, admission 3 euros. University students bring their musical talents to entertain the whole family, involving younger members of the audience as much as possible!
22.00: ANACRONIA perform at the Los Baños archaeological museum in Alhama de Murcia, admission 5 or 10 euros. Anacronía base their performances on spontaneity, fun and dynamism, and have won acclaim and awards for their demonstration of anachronisms in music, performing as far afield as Belgium and Poland as well as all over Spain.
Tickets for all of the events in the 2024 ECOS season can be purchased online through the festival website here.
