The first meeting of the La Fundación Galindo (Galindo Foundation), a non profit making artistic and musical organization, held the first meeting in Calasparra on Saturday following an official presentation at the Town Hall.
The Foundation, which will grant scholarships and organize concerts, has its official “seat” in the Casa Granero, Calle Mayor. The Galindo family have a long history of musical links with Calasparra and more particularly with the Association Band of Music.
The President of the new Foundation, Germán Galindo Moya, said: “We as a family have gained so much through music we wanted to give something back.”
The first scholarship is expected to be awarded this year and the initial concerts organized.
The Foundation has a website, ww.fundaciongalindo.com where there is more information about the project and its future plans.
The Casa Granero was chosen as the seat of the organization because five generations of the Galindo family have associations with the music school and the local Band of Music.
On Friday the President of the Foundation and the Mayor of Calasparra, Jesus Navarro, held a special press conference where they signed the official agreement for the Foundation.
