Sacred Music Ronda: A Festival of Spiritual Artistry

Each March and April, Ronda’s historic heart pulses with the sound of sacred music. The Ciclo de Música Sacra de Ronda (Sacred Music Ronda) brings together internationally acclaimed musicians, local prodigies, and passionate audiences for a series of free concerts that illuminate the city’s most iconic venues. This year’s program, spanning from March 16 to April 11, 2025, promises an extraordinary journey through centuries of musical devotion.

2025 Program Highlights

  • March 16: Sax on Bach – A unique recital blending baroque genius with modern saxophone artistry, held at the Centro Cultural Fundación Unicaja de Ronda.
  • March 23: Chamber Orchestra Recital – Led by Margarita Bolos and the Orquesta de Cámara de Eugenio de Cantos, in the awe-inspiring Santa María la Mayor.
  • March 30: Mozart’s Requiem – The emotional centerpiece, performed by the Málaga Symphony Orchestra and the University of Seville Choir, filling Santa María la Mayor with timeless reverence.
  • April 5: De Profundis – An evocative vocal and instrumental ensemble, enhanced by the glow of a fifteen-branched candelabrum, creating a mystical ambiance.
  • April 11: Escolanía de Los Palacios – The pure voices of a children’s choir close the cycle with celestial harmonies.

All concerts are free, drawing both locals and visitors into Ronda’s rich tapestry of tradition and innovation.

Why Sacred Music Ronda is Unmissable

The festival is more than a series of concerts-it is an immersive experience that connects you to Ronda’s spiritual and artistic legacy. Imagine sitting beneath centuries-old arches, candlelight flickering on ancient stone, as the first notes of Mozart’s Requiem rise into the vaulted ceiling. The atmosphere is electric yet serene, and every performance is a testament to the enduring power of music to elevate the human spirit.

For two decades, the festival has grown in prestige, thanks to the vision of the Asociación Senda and the support of local institutions. Each year, new talents and renowned artists share the stage, ensuring every edition is unique.
