For the 53rd year running the curtain will rise on the summer season this June in Granada where the Festival Internacional de Música y Danza is set to begin on the 18th of the month. The festival has its origins in the symphonic concerts that were celebrated in the Carlos V Palace since 1883 during the Corpus Christi festival, and the early editions figured as part of the program of events. In modern times the festival has acquired international prestige with artists such as Arthur Rubinstein, Victoria de los Ángeles and Andrés Segovia with a program that includes opera, symphonic music and chamber music in addition to flamenco.
