Music clears space for emotions and thoughts, but it also makes room for mindfulness and mediation. We have decided to capitalize on that created space and to devote a piece of our art to SOS Children's Villages Worldwide. Our goal is to reach out to those who listen to our music and try get them engaged in the organisation.

 

Con Alma 

A documentary by Marta Ferrer Carne & Pedro González Rubio

Production by una comunión

So grateful to have been part of this journey! The first screening of the film will take place tomorrow at 5 PM within the International Film Festival Guanajuato in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

Synopsis

Magos Herrera and Paola Prestini, two renowned musicians and composers of the international contemporary scene, created a long- distance strategy through music to build community and foster empathy in a time of uncertainty and pain. From this collaboration, and with the participation of more than 30 outstanding musicians from different parts of the world, the album “Con Alma” was born. In 2022 they decide to take this music to reconnect and heal through live concerts and ultimately bring the conversation of care to the most important global conference on gender equality at the UN headquarters in New York, celebrating resilience and speaking through their artistic voices to transform. A journey full of emotions, achievements and obstacles, where collective creation builds friendship, solidarity and possible futures for the next generations. 

 

We are over the moon to announce that we are part of the opera production "Primero Sueño de Sor Juana," composed by the dream team Paola Prestini and Magos Herrera, commissioned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and VisionIntoArt. The first performances of the opera will be in January 2025 at The Met Cloisters in NYC. In the last ten days, we had the enormous pleasure of starting to bring this piece to life in San Miguel de Allende (Mexico), with a team full of love and trust.
