One of the historic stages of the National Network of Rockódromo Festivals, the Pablo de Rokha Festival, Music and Poetry in Maule, debuts this 2024 in a new location. The event leaves the regional capital and moves to the coastal city of Constitución, in a day that will bring together five regional bands, literature and the prominent Chilean musician and composer, Nano Stern.
The event will take place this Saturday, August 24, at 6:00 p.m., at the Municipal Theater of Constitución. Admission is free upon receipt of tickets at the box office from Tuesday 20. It is organized by the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage through its Regional Ministerial Secretariat and the Rock and Popular Music Schools program, the Municipality of Constitución and is sponsored by the De Rokha Foundation.
“We are excited to move the Pablo de Rokha Festival and premiere it this 2024 in Constitución, where music and poetry lovers will be able to enjoy it in the modern hall of the Theater, which was inaugurated last summer by President Gabriel Boric and Minister Carolina Arredondo. We want to thank the enthusiasm of the organizing teams of both our ministry and the municipality and, as always, we hope for a full house to celebrate the great poet from Maule,” said the chief of staff of the Seremi de las Culturas del Maule, Franco Hormazábal.
