The opening concert of the festival is a performance of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater, a moving piece of music composed shortly before the composer's death.

TO LIVE / TO DIE

Saturday June 3 at 9:00 p.m.

The second proposal of the festival combines music and performing arts with a musical journey around the essay "Living with our dead" by the French writer Delphine Horvilleur, whose work seeks to turn death into a life lesson for those who remain. The prestigious harpist Xavier de Maistre and the award-winning pianist Lise de la Salle will perform pieces inspired by this theme, while the actress Rossy de Palma, who will perform for the first time in Andorra, will become the voice of the writer. This unique proposal will take us on an emotional journey that shows how music and words can help to heal our wounds. It will take place at the National Auditorium in Ordino.
