Royal Household makes doña Sofía's presence at the closing of the School of Music official
The monarchy has strengthened its connection with social and cultural initiatives in recent months, seeking to bring its members closer to the public. Queen Sofía, a defender of the arts and research, plays a key role in this goal, combining tradition and social commitment.
The precedent of her last appearance, after receiving Princess Leonor at the Zarzuela Palace, laid the foundation for an agenda full of events with high symbolic value. This double setting, music and research, reflects the diversity of Royal Household's institutional work.
The most immediate event will be on Tuesday, June 17 at the Reina Sofía School of Music. There, doña Sofía will preside over the closing ceremony of the academic year. According to Royal Household, the ceremony will include a brief speech in which the queen will highlight the educational excellence and the talent of the young musicians who have passed through its classrooms.

Less than 48 hours later, on Thursday, June 19, Queen Sofía will attend the II International Congress on ALS Research Manolo Barros. This is a meeting that brings together top-level scientists and specialists to advance the fight against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
In this second event, doña Sofía will make a call for international collaboration and will pay tribute to the memory of Manolo Barros, whose legacy inspires the entire scientific community. The strength of this commitment shows Royal Household's determination to raise awareness of rare diseases and support biomedical research.
Doña Sofía's attendance at the School of Music and at the ALS congress not only responds to protocol obligations, but also reflects a strategic approach by Royal Household. By focusing the queen's participation on activities with high social and cultural impact, the monarchy strengthens its image of closeness and real commitment to causes that transcend borders.
The next official commitments of Felipe and Letizia
Simultaneously with doña Sofía's events, the king and queen will resume their joint activities starting Tuesday, June 17. Their first stop will be in Burela, Lugo, where they will participate in various initiatives linked to the town's fishing tradition. They are scheduled to visit a historic ship and witness a fish unloading at the dock.
In addition, the royal couple will meet with the Burela women's futsal team, champions of the Queen's Cup. This gesture of recognition for women's sporting excellence underscores Royal Household's support for the values of effort and achievement.

On Wednesday, June 18, Felipe and Letizia will attend the "King of Spain" International Journalism Awards, organized by Agencia EFE and the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation. This event recognizes the work of professionals who defend freedom of the press, an essential value for democracy.
To conclude the week, on Friday, June 20, the king and queen will travel to Bruges, Belgium, to close the academic year of the College of Europe, on the occasion of its 75th anniversary. The institution welcomes students from more than fifty nationalities, highlighting the importance of the European project.
Royal Household, through the events of Queen Sofía, reaffirms its commitment to culture and research, consolidating its role as a social and humanitarian reference. With the closing of the School of Music and support for the fight against ALS, Sofía places the Crown at the epicenter of highly relevant causes. How will these gestures influence public perception of the Spanish monarchy?
