Approximately 300 musicians from the three Valencian provinces participated in a joint concert held Friday at Valencia's North Station, as a tribute to the associative musical movement.

The 'Amor al Arte' Musical Union of Benlloch and the Musical Union of Alfondeguilla represented the province of Castellón in the Germanor Band. This ensemble, made up of around 300 musicians from ten musical societies across the Valencian Community, performed at the iconic North Station of Valencia.
The initiative, promoted by Amstel in collaboration with the Federation of Musical Societies of the Valencian Community (FSMCV), brought together ensembles from Alicante, Castellón, and Valencia. The concert was conceived as a tribute to the vibrant Valencian musical associative scene.
One of the most acclaimed moments was the joint performance of 'Rotllo i Canya', an emblematic composition from Castellón's festivals. The repertoire also included well-known pieces such as Amparito Roca, Paquito el Chocolatero, El Fallero, Xàbia, Les Fogueres de Sant Joan, and Chimo. Musical direction was led by Sergio Díaz, director of the FSMCV's Youth Symphony Band.
The concert concluded with the premiere of 'Germanor', an original composition created specifically for this event and performed by the entire band. The occasion served as a prelude to the Viveros Concerts, scheduled to begin on July 2nd.
