The Florencia Foundation is hosting a special "Symphony of Film" gala on July 23 at the Municipal Theater "Ignacio A. Pane" to support children with hearing loss. The event promises an evening of iconic film scores performed by the National Symphony Orchestra (OSN), under the baton of Maestro Ernesto Estigarribia, with acclaimed singer Andrea Valobra gracing the stage.

Our goal is to give these children access to hearing, as well as to develop speech and language.

— Francisco “Tachi” CazalExecutive director of the Florencia Foundation, explaining the foundation's mission.

This symphonic concert is a key initiative by the Florencia Foundation, which has dedicated seven years to providing cochlear implants and hearing aids. "Our goal is to give these children access to hearing, as well as to develop speech and language," said Francisco "Tachi" Cazal, the foundation's executive director. He emphasized the foundation's three-pronged approach: early detection of hearing loss, provision of technology and comprehensive support, and crucial therapeutic follow-up until children can speak.

Cazal highlighted the growing need for resources as more families seek the foundation's help. "Many families approach the foundation, they know us more and more, and we need resources to support a greater number of people," he stated. He also noted the successful partnership with the OSN, which has transformed the gala into an annual event celebrating solidarity, inclusion, and artistic quality.
