Filarmed is in Palermo Cultural

After many years of working to share a headquarters where the musicians of the orchestra, the administrative team and the teachers of our educational line are gathered, today this desire for a headquarters for Filarmed becomes a reality. The orchestra will inhabit the old Palermo School in El Poblado with its offices, sheet music library and rehearsal space.

In this space we will continue to advance our purpose of transforming the city with music; with the additional value of sharing this place with other entities with whom we hope to join to energize the sector and strengthen the cultural ecosystem. 

The Medellín Philharmonic Orchestra, the Medellín Metropolitan Ballet and Cantoalegre join forces to re-signify this space, which we are sure will be one of the most representative urban symbols of our city. In this space, the Colombian Real Estate Fund will carry out an urban development that will continue to transform Medellín: a place for adults and children to live and vibrate in unison with artists, nature and spaces designed for collective enjoyment.

Culture is one of the main axes of transformation of territories. Through it, wills are connected, harmonious and safe communities are built, and the economy is energized.

“Our orchestra is a family of about one hundred members that has developed for thirty-eight years without having a shared space. Starting today we can say that we have a house, a case for the life of an organization that firmly believes in its transformative work. It is a privilege to be part of a project with a shared object, which combines expressions such as future, renewal, culture and transformation.” María Catalina Prieto, executive director

Where are you?

Filarmed's offices and rehearsal room will be in Palermo Cultural, a project located in the former headquarters of the Palermo School (Cra. 42 No. 8 – 00).

In this space the orchestra will work together with the Ballet and Cantoalegre to deliver memorable experiences with unique staging, harmonious musical compositions and inspiring voices that invite you to dream of a more united city.

“This project will allow co-creation, teamwork and construction of even larger projects than we can imagine today.” Santiago Uribe López, president of the Colombia Real Estate Fund.

We want to thank Ruta N in Perpetuo Socorro and the Teatro Metropolitano where our offices were for several years. And to the Oviedo Shopping Center where we carried out our rehearsals until recently. Soon we will be at this headquarters to continue building this story together and build the city we dream of, and we will continue to circulate and do concerts in Oviedo, in the Theater and throughout the city and the Department.

Welcome to our new headquarters!

Soon we will present the schedule of open rehearsals for the entire public.
