The Town Charter Group recognizes the UMB and La Barqueta for their support of the performance that commemorates the founding of Benidorm by Bernat de Sarrià each year
Concert by the UMB Symphony Orchestra to commemorate the 700th anniversary of Benidorm

The event was organised in collaboration with the Department of Culture, headed by Jaime Jesús Perez, and the Town Charter Group of the Verge del Sofratge Penyes Association.
Around 300 people attended the concert, including the mayor, Toni Pérez, other members of the municipal council, and the regional representative, José Ramón González de Zárate.
Under the baton of its principal conductor, Rafa Gómez Parra, the orchestra performed "Les noces de Fígaro" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and "Cavalleria Rusticana" by Pietro Mascagni. After a brief break, José Francisco Pallarés, on behalf of the Grup Carta de Poblament (Carta de Poblament Group), presented plaques of recognition to Francisco Lloréns (Paco Rosera), president of the La Barqueta Cultural and Recreational Association, and to Mª Carmen García, president of the Unión Musical (Musical Union), for their support over the years in organising the annual performance commemorating the founding of Benidorm by Admiral Bernat de Sarrià.
Finally, Rafa Gómez Parra returned to the stage to conduct the four movements of Ludwig van Beethoven's "Symphony No. 7 in A Major," bringing the concert to a close. Those wishing to enjoy "Trobades en Viena" again can do so on Saturday, May 10, in Alicante, at the Provincial Council Auditorium (ADDA).
