The Provincial Council grants 33,955 euros to repair instruments for 41 musical groups

The Deputación de Pontevedra has granted 33,955.66 euros to 41 bands, folkloric associations, and musical groups in the province to repair instruments and costumes. The list was made public in the Boletín Oficial da Provincia de Pontevedra (BOPPO) no. 219, dated November 12, 2026, in an announcement from the Provincial Council’s Servizo de Cultura (reference 2026078628). The money corresponds to the second line of the call for grants for popular music, which has already been resolved and assigned to the beneficiary entities.

The announcement is formalized in accordance with Article 18 of Law 38/2003, of November 17, general law on subsidies, and Article 12 of the General Subsidy Ordinance of the Deputación de Pontevedra. The original call was published in BOPPO no. 95, of May 21, 2026, under the program “Other transfers: Repair of instruments and costumes,” charged to budget application 26/330.3340.489.05.

The same announcement includes a first list, that of the line for the acquisition of instruments and costumes, which totals 250,000.00 euros among 153 entities under application 26/330.3340.789.00. Adding the two lines together, the Servizo de Cultura is publishing 283,955.66 euros in subsidies for music and folklore in the province these days.

Closing

The publication closes the allocation of musical grants for the year in the province and provides economic coverage to groups that maintain traditional music in small municipalities, where the cost of repairing instruments and renewing costumes usually falls on the accounts of the associations themselves. The entities already know the amounts corresponding to them and can justify the expenses according to the subsidy regulations.
