29th International Festival of Sacred Art

The International Festival of Sacred Art is back to celebrate its twenty-ninth edition. The event will review different musical languages and will cover genres, such as flamenco, jazz, electronic and religious music. The San Jerónimo del Real church, the Canal Theatres and the Congress of Deputies are some of the typical venues for the festival.

 The event aims to explore the role of music in questions like transcendence and spirituality.

Sánchez, Paco Ibáñez, Jorge Pardo, María Toledo, Ernesto Aurignac, the Cubero brothers, María José Llergo, Rosa Torres-Pardo, Rafael de Utrera, Pepe Rivero, María Berasarte, Alejandro Pelayo, Nereydas or Jorge Grundman.
