Which concerts are on from 14 to 19 November?
The Escuela Insular de Música de Fuerteventura (EIMF) celebrates Santa Cecilia, the patron saint of music, from 14 to 19 November. The Cabildo (island government) says the aim is to show off the pupils’ talent and bring music closer to people.
The week opens on Saturday 14 November at 18:00 with a concert for guitars, lutes and timples. EIMF pupils play alongside pupils from the Escuela de Música y Danza Villa de La Orotava on Tenerife.
The opening concert is in the EIMF’s Salón de Actos (main hall) in Puerto del Rosario. The themed recital “El Romanticismo” follows in the same hall on Monday 16 November at 19:00.
A piano recital takes place in Aula 1 of the EIMF on Wednesday 18 November at 19:00. The announcement does not say who performs on the evenings of 16, 18 and 19 November.
The finale is the Concierto de Santa Cecilia at the Auditorio de Puerto del Rosario on Thursday 19 November at 19:00. Nothing is scheduled for 15 or 17 November.
What does entry cost, and how do you get there?
According to the Cabildo, only the closing concert on 19 November is free, and only until the hall is full. Arrive well before 19:00 if you want to be sure of a seat.
For 14, 16 and 18 November the announcement gives neither a price nor a booking requirement. Whether entry is charged or a reservation is needed remains unclear.
The announcement also says nothing about how to get there, and nothing about contact details or seat numbers. The Cabildo says the full programme is on its official website, but the text gives no address.
Anyone travelling from the south of the island must plan the trip to Puerto del Rosario themselves, as no timetable or parking details are available. Before setting off, check the Cabildo website, especially for the three dates with no price information.
Who runs the music school?
The EIMF belongs to the Cabildo de Fuerteventura. According to information from September 2025, the Consejería de Educación (education department) under Adargoma Hernández is responsible for it.
Enrolment and fees go through the official website. Pupil numbers, founding year and budget are not available, nor is the cost of the concert week.
The Cabildo runs the school and so is its public funder. The announcement does not say who pays for the individual concerts.
How did the school handle entry at earlier concerts?
The EIMF gave three Christmas concerts in December 2025. The “Gran Concierto de Navidad” on 16 December at 19:00 at the Palacio de Formación y Congresos in Puerto del Rosario was free but required an invitation via the official website.
A concert followed in Gran Tarajal on 17 December and another in La Oliva on 18 December with the Grupo de Teatro de La Oliva. That points to a pattern of free concerts, some of which require invitations.
The Cabildo does not say whether an invitation is needed on 19 November. All it states is free entry until the hall is full.
What is known about “Noches de Radio La Ronda” on 12 December?
According to the published programme, Los Gofiones and the Gran Canaria Big Band play on Saturday 12 December at 20:30 at the Palacio de Formación y Congresos de Fuerteventura. The hall is on calle Eliseo Rodríguez Cabrera in Puerto del Rosario, the show lasts 90 minutes and tickets start at 25 euros.
Our research found no confirmation from the Cabildo or the town hall. The organiser and the advance ticket outlet are not named either.
The show revives the radio programme “La Ronda” of the 1950s to 1970s, with listener dedications, songs and humour. It features Los Gofiones under Pepe Afonso, singer Isabel González and presenter Kiko Barroso, and is directed by José Carlos Campos.
The show ran at the Auditorio Alfredo Kraus in Las Palmas on 3 October 2025, the 57th anniversary of Los Gofiones. Televisión Canaria broadcast the recording on Friday 6 March 2026 at 22:30.
