The Consell de Mallorca, through the Fundació Mallorca Literària, is organizing a charity concert in solidarity with Valencia in Santanyí, blending music, literature, and social empathy. On Thursday, November 14, the Teatro Principal de Santanyí will host the performance A mamar tots els versos! by renowned Valencian singer Sandra Monfort, as part of the literary event Un amor tan gran, dedicated to the centenary of poet Vicent Andrés Estellés.

A Concert with a Charitable Purpose

All proceeds from the tickets, priced at 10 euros, will go to the solidarity fund of the Federation of Local Entities of the Balearic Islands (FELIB) to support Valencian communities affected by the recent DANA. Additionally, a fila cero has been set up for those who wish to contribute without attending the event.

Both the event and the concert are part of the autumn program of the Casa Blai Bonet – Poetry Center, managed by the Fundació Mallorca Literària in Santanyí.  Initially planned to take place in the courtyard of Casa Blai Bonet, the concert has been moved to the Teatro Principal de Santanyí to accommodate a larger audience. Tickets for the concert can be purchased on the official website: www.mallorcaliteraria.cat.

Sandra Monfort and the Legacy of Estellés

In this solidarity concert with Valencia in Santanyí, Sandra Monfort breathes life into the verses of the iconic Valencian poet Vicent Andrés Estellés, fusing them with her unique musical style. Monfort, who has performed Estellés’ poems on stage since the beginning of her career, will include pieces such as Cançó de bressol and La nit, alongside her own songs like Asusena and Moreneta.

The performance serves as a tribute not only to the poet but also to the Valencian region and its resilience, using music and poetry as a bridge for support and solidarity.
