Young talents WORKSHOP
Music is a fundamental cultural and social value for any society. Our aim is to nurture it for all future professionals.
Education, culture and fun!

performers who are taking their first steps into the professional world. It isdirectly linked to the International Chamber Music Residencies Festival,directed by Joan Enric Lluna, in which highly committed music teachers andactive, consolidated performers work together in order to guide and support theparticipants, and help them achieve their full potential.
