On Friday, July 17, the workshops carried out by the URJC and the Yehudi Menuhin Spain Foundation at the Virgen de Lourdes Educational and Occupational Center of the Promiva Foundation on the occasion of the European Delyramus project ended. The main objective of Delyramus, a work promoted by the Ramón Rey Ardid Foundation in collaboration with the School of Violeros de Zaragoza, is the dissemination of ancient music through the recovery of heritage and traditional techniques of violence, with the participation active of people with disabilities associated with mental illness.

The activities carried out over two days focused on sensory experimentation through songs, rhythms, history and the construction of musical instruments with various recycled materials. Taking as a starting point the historical work of the viola luthiers of the peninsula, the users of the center were able to become musicians and craftsmen throughout the sessions, building their own instruments and then playing them both individually and in groups. The participants of the activity learned traditional songs or songs anchored in the collective memory for being generational hymns, classical music, as well as the creation of fictional instruments through the Lupo System. In this way, the Delyramus project was also linked to the activities carried out previously at the center within the Real Architecture / Real Architecture project.
