Filharmònica Porrerenca

With the Filharmònica Porrerenca you get to experience one of Mallorca's oldest concert bands. Founded in 1856 in Porreres by Jaume Mulet i Escarrer, the ensemble grew out of the merger of smaller local music groups, with Mulet teaching young villagers solfège and various instruments. Ever since, the band has continuously accompanied Porreres' cultural life: parades, processions, village festivals and concerts have carried its signature sound for over 170 years. In 2006, marking its 150th anniversary, it received the Premi Jaume II from the Mallorca Island Council. In recent years the Filharmònica Porrerenca has deliberately broadened its repertoire, performing arrangements of current pop hits alongside classical band music to reach younger audiences — reflected in albums such as "Porreres" and "Artín", as well as a collaboration with Dani de Baza. Its festive highlight each year is the Saint Cecilia concert at the Auditori Municipal de Porreres, honoring music's patron saint. In 2026 the band celebrates its 170th anniversary with a year-long concert series that also takes it to Sineu — a living piece of Mallorcan musical tradition.
