La Semana
¿Qué es la Semana Tárrega?
'Tárrega Week' is an international festival organized by the Institute for Musical Development (IDM) with the sponsorship of Il·lm. Vila-real City Council and the Valencian Institute of Culture, together with the collaboration of various academic and cultural institutions. Its main objective is to disseminate the figure, complete concert work and legacy of Francisco Tárrega from his native land. It is the only festival in the world in which the entire concert compositions of the musician from Vila-Real are performed annually.
Next to the performances of the integral, the guitar masterclasses and performance enhancement masterclass son un pilar fundamental del Festival. Impartidas por concertistas internacionales y eminentes pedagogos, están dirigidas a guitarristas y músicos en general de cualquier parte del mundo, que deseen alcanzar tanto la excelencia interpretativa como la excelencia escénica. Tras la excelente acogida con gran entusiasmo de las anteriores ediciones, este año tiene lugar el V Congreso Internacional Francisco Tárrega, donde se celebran conferencias internacionales, mesas redondas, entrevistas y charlas interactivas lideradas por expertos en la figura de Francisco Tárrega, la guitarra clásica y la interpretación musical.
Francisco Tárrega is a universal reference in global musical culture. His works for guitar are so important that he is considered the ‘Father of the modern guitar’. The responsibility to host an annual event in Vila-real that corresponds to the level of this great artist in his hometown that aims to unite excellence of interpretation, performance and the beauty of music has required a great effort from the team at IDM and that year after year has become an international reference for Tárrega.
