Banda Sinfónica Juvenil de Villeta

Wind Band Youth division

Bio

The Music School of the Municipality of Villeta has its roots in the historic Municipal

Band, active since 1928. In 1990, under the direction of Maestro Hugo Garzón

Suárez, the ensemble adopted a symphonic focus, modernized its repertoire, and

achieved important accolades, including first-place wins in departmental contests

and notable national performances. On June 23, 1993, through Municipal

Agreement No. 03, the Music School was officially established, strengthening local

artistic education. In 2020, the Villeta Children’s Symphonic Band was born with the

vision of bringing together a group of 100% local children. Despite starting during

lockdown, the band solidified its artistic development with the support of Mayor

Yosimar Reyes Acevedo and the Municipal Institute for Tourism, Culture,

Recreation, and Sports, led by Ricardo Cubillos Olarte. Thanks to the dedication of

director Cristian Linares and a highly qualified teaching team, the band has excelled

in national competitions in Guatavita, Andalucía, and Viterbo, among others. Today,

the project has evolved into the Villeta Youth Symphonic Band, facing new

challenges and with a national outlook, proudly representing Villeta on Colombia’s

most important stages.
