The event will begin at 19.30 h with a welcome by the Chief Consul of Encamp, Laura Mas, and the reading of the poem "XLII", which is part of the poetry collection Horacianas, by Vicent Andrés i Estellés, chosen on the occasion of the celebration of the year Estellés, which commemorates the centenary of the birth of the Valencian poet.

Show 'Poets'
The commemoration of World Poetry Day will end with the show Poets, a compilation of poems by authors of different origins and eras that have touched the sensibility of Lluís Cartes. The Andorran musician and composer wanted to music them and eventually turn them into songs. Poems by Charles Baudelaire, Fernando Pessoa, William Shakespeare, Vicent Penya and Mireia Calafell can be heard. On this occasion, he will be accompanied by Oriol Vilella and Albert Freixas, and will appear on stage, in one of the songs, the Santa Romana Flock.
