The Ministerio de Cultura y Deportes de Guatemala shared a series of posts on December 2, 2025, highlighting recent cultural initiatives and events aimed at bringing art and music to the public.

In its first post, the ministry reported that "#Guatemala | El Cuarteto Primavera llevó la alegría de la navidad a la Consulta Externa de Adultos Mayores del Hospital General San Juan de Dios con su presentación de temporada en el vestíbulo de la institución." This event featured a seasonal performance by the Cuarteto Primavera at the outpatient clinic for older adults at Hospital General San Juan de Dios.

A subsequent post described the audience's experience during the event: "Pacientes, familiares, médicos y personal de enfermería disfrutaron de las más hermosas melodías navideñas, tanto clásicas como modernas, traducidas al formato de cámara por el talento de los integrantes del Cuarteto. #AlPuebloDignoSeLeResponde" The tweet noted that patients, family members, doctors, and nursing staff enjoyed both classical and modern Christmas melodies performed in chamber music format.

Later in the evening, the ministry promoted one of its media channels with another message: " El arte y la cultura, cada vez más cerca de ti. Sintoniza Radio Faro Cultural 104.5 FM y escucha la programación con actividades y contenido especial que tenemos para ti. Envía tus comentarios al WhatsApp https://t.co/X61gCMAwYI #AlPuebloDignoSeLeResponde" This tweet encouraged listeners to tune into Radio Faro Cultural 104.5 FM for special programming and activities related to arts and culture.
