V Edition of the Galicia Clarinet Fest
Galicia Clarinet Fest it is a unique experience to enjoy the concerts and mastery of clarinet players from the national and international scene. From July 12 to 19, Lalín (Galicia) becomes the world epicenter of clarinet virtuosity, offering a first-class academic, informative and leisure space.
Historically, the Deza region stands out for being the heart of numerous music bands, conservatories, schools and musical groups. And in that community made up of teachers, students, fans and the public, the clarinet plays a prominent role.
