Walking through Guadassuar is to listen to color

To walk the streets of Guadassuar is to enter a space where music lives in the architecture. The houses seem to breathe melody, their balconies bearing silent witness to generations of musicians. The town squares still hold the echo of rehearsals and concerts—timeless vibrations that resonate in every corner. Here, every stone, every window, every shadow pulses to the rhythm of music, as if the town itself were a finely tuned instrument, shaped by time and the enduring devotion to its musical heritage.

In Guadassuar, musicians become painters of the wind, cultivators of emotion. With each breath, they color silence with tradition, with passion, with visions of the future. The streets, plazas, and concert halls are transformed into living galleries, where each performance becomes an unrepeatable exhibition—an ephemeral yet vivid composition that paints the town with sound.

Within the framework of this International Horn Congress, the sound of the horn emerges like a brushstroke—delicate, powerful, intentional—tracing luminous forms and harmonic chromaticism across an invisible canvas. The air itself becomes pigmented; and where the eye cannot reach, the music expands, layer upon layer. Each note, a hue. Each pause, a depth. A suspended time where music and painting become one.

Melodies here do more than entertain—they paint memories, emotions, and shared dreams. They compose a living artwork that evolves with each interpretation: a vast collective canvas that inspires, moves, and connects those who take part.

CITGUAD does not merely sound—it speaks, it paints, it stirs. Each note is a gesture. Each silence, a space alive with meaning. Each echo, a brushstroke that fills the air with color.

“When the horns play, the air becomes painted.”

Vicent Boïl Mut, painter
