The leisure and cultural program for this last weekend of March in Las Rozas is full of musical events. Tomorrow, Friday, the cycle of Sacred Music being held in the municipality brings the Los Peñascales choir, directed by Marcelo Gándaras, who will invite us to experience a musical journey deeply connected to the spirit of Lent. With their characteristic approach, based on a profound dialogue with the musical text, the choir aims to move the audience. The repertoire will include masterpieces by J.S. Bach, Mozart, Palestrina, Byrd, Zoltán Kodály, among other great composers. The performance can be enjoyed starting at 20:15 at the parish of San Miguel Arcángel. And on Saturday, at the parish of Santa María de la Merced, the three sections of the Villa de Las Rozas choir—Children, Youth, and Adults—will come together to offer a moving sacred music concert. The program will include a careful selection of pieces from their usual repertoire, as well as unpublished works.

Also this Saturday, at 6:00 p.m., the Joaquín Rodrigo Auditorium will be the stage for the XI Atrevimiento Concert of the Musikum School of Las Matas, a fusion of the effort and enthusiasm of the students with the passion and experience of their teachers, who will present a repertoire chosen by all and specially arranged for the occasion, including soundtracks, classical music, pop and rock versions, and even jazz.

Dance Dialogues is the name of the show by the África Guzmán Dance Project Company that brings together works by renowned international choreographers such as Gustavo Ramírez Sansano, Bárbara Fritsche, Mariano Cardano, María Europa Guzmán, and África Guzmán herself. The proposal fuses tradition and innovation in a unique visual journey, where each movement invites us to experience dance to the fullest. The event will take place on Saturday, starting at 8:00 p.m., at the theater of the Pérez de la Riva Cultural Center.

Activities in libraries and exhibitions

The municipal libraries will host the Story Hour tomorrow, which will be in English, like every last Friday of the month. With free admission until full capacity, it will bring Marga Gil Roësset with Owl babies to the Las Matas library; Face 2 Face will tell Circus life at the Las Rozas library; and Chameleon Theatre will present Detective Friday at the Leon Tolstoi library.

And the Auditorium Hall hosts the exhibition Centennial Madrileños. The wisdom of longevity, which collects photographs and testimonies from centenarians in the Community of Madrid, and aims to create a space where citizens can reflect on their legacy. In Spain, there are nearly 20,000 centenarians, with 1,700 residing in the region, and their longevity represents a personal achievement and a valuable link to the past of a community that has been the scene of crucial historical moments. The exhibition will be open until April 7.

And at the J.M. Díaz Caneja Room, the winning and selected works of the 37th Photography Contest Jesús and Adán are on display. Organized by the Youth Department, it is aimed at non-professional young people between 14 and 30 years old, showcasing the talent and creativity of the new generation of photographers in this exhibition, available until April 3.

Finally, until April 6, the exhibition by Carmen la Griega Take me where there is life will be available at the Maruja Mallo room, a project that stems from the symbiosis between caring for a father with Alzheimer’s and artistic experimentation. As part of the Mental Health Plan of Las Rozas, this exhibition demonstrates artistic practice as a driver of improvement in the quality of life for patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers.

The Youth Club Your Space, aimed at young people aged 11 to 17, will allow participants to choose their preferred activity this weekend. They will also have a meeting space to gather and spend their free time with table football, ping-pong, music, or board games, on Friday and Saturday from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Youth Center.

The Second Hand Neighborhood Market celebrates a new edition this Saturday, from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., on Calle Real, becoming a meeting place for neighbors who want to sell items they no longer need and for those looking for a curious item and spend the morning enjoying the atmosphere of the town center.

Inauguration of the School Olympics

The inaugural day of the School Olympics of Las Rozas will take place this Sunday, with an event scheduled to start at 10:45 a.m. with a welcome and the lighting of the torch in the Plaza Mayor, from where it will begin its journey to the athletics track of the Navalcarbón sports center, where 27 schools will parade at 11:30 a.m. Around noon, the Olympic torch will enter the stadium, and the cauldron will be lit to start the flag display and the reading of the Olympic Oath, officially inaugurating the School Olympics. The event will continue with an entertainment show that will last until 12:40 p.m. During the following week, from March 31 to April 4, the various tests will be held at the Dehesa de Navalcarbón sports center and the Fairground, with the participation of over 8,000 students from Las Rozas in 28 different disciplines.
