The Gabinete Literario in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has brought forward by one hour the concert by 8 November 2026, scheduled for Sunday Coro Contemporáneo de Tenerife It will now begin at 11.00am instead of 12.00pm in the Salón Dorado. Admission is free until the hall reaches capacity. The venue said the last-minute programme change was due to the suspension of public activities in the city from 12.00pm in connection with the Borrasca Bruna.
Gabinete Literario said the decision was announced in an urgent notice on Saturday evening. The background is a weather warning of the Government of the Canary Islands, which activated a heightened alert over the weekend because of heavy rain, wind and coastal conditions. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria City Council consequently suspended public events from Sunday midday as a precaution. The aim is to avoid crowds and ease pressure on emergency services while the weather is considered critical.
Bringing the concert forward allows the ensemble to perform the programme before the city’s suspension takes effect. Gabinete Literario stressed that the audience must leave the hall in good time once the general suspension of public activities in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria comes into force. No information was available on Sunday morning about whether other cultural events might be rescheduled or alternative formats offered.
The Government of the Canary Islands had previously announced alert levels for coastal conditions, rain and wind for 7 and 8 November 2026. The authorities are urging people to follow official guidance, avoid exposed stretches of coast and avoid unnecessary journeys. The situation is being assessed continuously; the relevant authorities initially gave only general information about how long the suspension would last and whether further restrictions might apply during the day. At the time of Gabinete Literario’s announcement, no specific details were available on the maximum permitted capacity of the Salón Dorado, places already allocated or refunds.
The immediate context is the precautionary measure in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria because of Storm Bruna, and the resulting decision to bring the concert forward. Earlier plans, including the original start time of 12.00pm, no longer apply to this event. Further decisions by organisers and authorities expressly depend on how the weather develops and on official warnings.
