Piano Nights at Palacio Can Marqués: live music in a historical setting 

Palacio Can Marqués: a journey through time 

In the heart of Palma's historic centre, in a corner that preserves the essence of centuries past, stands the Palacio Can Marqués 5* Grand Luxe by Puro. This striking 18th-century building is one of the most emblematic buildings of the city's architectural heritage. It reflects the cultural and artistic richness that characterised Mallorca in times of commercial prosperity. 

The structure of the Palacio blends Baroque grandeur with the modern elegance of later renovations. Its interior features charming courtyards, distinctive staircases, large windows, and beautiful ornamentation, all of which contribute to its status as a living museum. Walking through its spaces immerses guests in an atmosphere that evokes the past while remaining relevant today, thanks to meticulous restoration and conservation efforts. 

Today, transformed into a luxury boutique hotel, the Palacio Can Marqués retains its essence as a fine cultural enclave. Its elegant architecture combines with contemporary design, making it the perfect setting for hosting artistic events. In this historical setting, music finds an unrivalled ally for displaying its evocative power. 

Friday magic: live music and art 

Every Friday afternoon, Palacio Can Marqués becomes a meeting point for art and music lovers. In its halls or central courtyard, the sound of live piano envelops attendees in an intimate and sophisticated experience. 

Pianist Benjamín Martínez Sonsó is the driving force behind these memorable evenings. With his refined technique and remarkable interpretative sensitivity, he transforms each piece into an emotional journey. His diverse and versatile repertoire aligns perfectly with the venue's atmosphere, spanning from classical compositions to contemporary interpretations, always delivered in a personal style that captivates the audience. 

These evenings are not limited to music alone. The programme is enriched by art exhibitions that interact with the piano notes, creating a multi-sensory experience. Painting, sculpture and photography combine in harmony with the musical performance, reinforcing the idea that art, in all its forms, is a universal language capable of moving and uniting people. 

Heritage, art and sophistication in harmony 

The charm of these piano evenings lies in the fusion of three essential elements: architectural heritage, live music and contemporary art. 

●    Heritage provides the perfect setting. The Palacio's centuries-old walls seem to hold the resonance of centuries of history in their memory, and each chord of the piano reactivates them, filling them with new life. 

●    Music embodies the soul of the evening. When performed with sensitivity, it becomes a language that transcends words and connects directly to the emotions of those who listen. 

●    Contemporary art adds freshness and relevance, establishing a dialogue between past and present that enriches the cultural experience. 

This balance makes Piano Nights more than just a concert: it is an aesthetic encounter, a ritual that unites tradition and modernity with a single purpose, to awaken the senses. 

An event open to all 

Although the Palacio Can Marqués is an exclusive hotel, these evenings are not just for its guests. On the contrary, the event is open to both island residents and visitors seeking unique experiences in Palma. 

This inclusive nature adds important value. It is not just a private show, but an event that contributes to the city's cultural life. The local community can enjoy an environment usually reserved for luxury hospitality, and tourists have the opportunity to experience Mallorca in a different way: through music, art and shared history. 

Moreover, the weekly event transforms the experience into a cultural ritual. Fridays are no longer just the start of the weekend, but an occasion to reconnect with art in an atmosphere that invites calm and contemplation. 

Reasons not to miss this event
