Juan Morel Campos

Juan Morel Campos, a great artist from Ponce, was honored for expressing the immortal soul of Puerto Rico in his music. His masterpieces, including "Juegos Florales," Sinfonia "Puerto Rico," and "El Certamen," won awards in musical competitions. At the initiative of the Juan Morel Campos Musical Society, an executive commission composed of Manuel P. Martinez, Domingo Cruz, and Carlos O. Georgetti was appointed to erect a monument in his honor. A tribute poem celebrated him as a master whose spirit lived on in the land of Ponce, in island music, and in dance.
