“Els Pirris” is the nickname of the members of the “Sociedad Ateneo Musical de Cullera” (Association “Ateneo Musical” of Cullera). The origin of their nickname is the shining feather, “pirri”, located on the peak of the uniforms’ cap of 1893.

After 120 years since its foundation the “Music Association” with a fascinating history has become one of the most important players in the Valencian and international music scene.

At the moment their artistic director and principal conductor is Ferrer Ferran. This year 2016 “Sociedad Musical” celebrates its 120th anniversary: 120 years of glory and victories. They passed these years like a big family united by the music.

Ferran would like to give the “Music Association” this piece of music, to honour it and to immortalize it again with another pasodoble which depicts mood, spanish tradition and character, greatness and happiness. With this composition he wants to remind everybody of the famous pasodoble, “Ateneo Musical”, that was created for them too and that has turned the world around. “Ateneo Musical” was brought into binging by the prestigious composer Don Mariano Puig who was their conductor from 1931 to 1969.
