The SecretarÃa de Cultura de Jujuy announced on March 9 new dates for the Capillas Musicales 2026 concert series, which brings live music performances to chapels and churches across the province. The initiative aims to highlight these heritage spaces as active cultural venues.
The series began on January 8 at the Capilla Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria in Maimará and will continue with several concerts open to the public in various locations throughout the province. Upcoming events include performances by Miguel Vilca and Dúo Zigarán Mercado at Capilla EpifanÃa del Señor in Villa JardÃn de Reyes on March 11, Grupo Apapacho at Iglesia San José in Perico on March 15, Conjunto de Cuerdas Jujuy at Santuario Nuestra Señora del Rosario de RÃo Blanco y Paypaya in RÃo Blanco, Palpalá on March 22, Miguel Vilca with Luis Escalera at Iglesia San Pedro de RÃo Negro in San Pedro de Jujuy on March 28, and Clarté Ensamble at Catedral Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria in Humahuaca on April 1.
All activities are free and open to everyone.
According to the announcement, “El ciclo Capillas Musicales, lanzado en 2025 por la SecretarÃa de Cultura, busca promover la música en espacios patrimoniales y fortalecer el vÃnculo entre artistas, comunidades y patrimonio cultural. Durante su primera edición se realizaron más de 40 conciertos en distintas localidades de la provincia.”
The program is designed to promote music within heritage sites while strengthening connections between artists, local communities, and cultural heritage. Organizers said that more than forty concerts were held during its first edition last year.
Looking ahead, the SecretarÃa de Cultura plans to continue expanding this initiative as a way of supporting both local musicians and historic venues throughout Jujuy.
