The Canary Islands have a rich musical culture. And a good illustration of this is the International Music Festival of the Canary Islands, which inaugurates musical activity in Europe. With a history going back over 30 years, this international classical music benchmark brings together orchestras from all over the world in January and February, for the most part in Gran Canaria and Tenerife.

The concerts are held in some of the most singular, emblematic buildings on the islands: the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium, in Gran Canaria, named after the most international tenor from the Canary Islands, and the Tenerife Auditorium “Adán Martín”, designed by the famous architect Santiago Calatrava.
