Empirical musicians


They are those musicians who, not having formal music studies, interpret and compose in a self-taught way . They are sometimes called amateur musicians, although they should not be confused with those musicians who, although they have training, perform their music on an honorary or amateur basis , that is, without receiving any financial benefit in return. Many of the empirical musicians play an instrument as a means of subsistence .

Musician’s Day


For Catholics, Santa Cecilia is the patron saint of music, according to a bull of Pope Gregory XIII from 1594. The patronal festival is celebrated on November 22 , the date of the death of the martyr, which became the date of celebration of the Day of the Musician .
