Enter the magic of La Rioja Festival 2024, where the notes of the finest classical music intertwine with the millenary essence of this region. We are thrilled to share this third edition with you, awakening the senses and elevating the experience to new heights.

With the theme 'Encounters', in this edition we celebrate noteworthy milestones such as the presence of the Spanish National Orchestra, which had not performed in La Rioja for decades, and the participation of ADDA Simfònica and La Carroza del Real, groups that will be performing on Logroño's stages for the first time. As an innovative twist, we welcome the Texas quartet 'Agarita' as our first resident artist, and the wonderful Laura Vega as our first composer in residence.

'Encuentros' not only expands our musical horizons, but also extends the arms of La Rioja to the world. By embarking on new international initiatives, we continue to weave connections with institutions and partners in the United States and Mexico, sharing our cultural richness beyond geographical borders.

We invite you to be a part of this musical and cultural journey, to experience the exquisite wines and fascinating wineries that characterize La Rioja. Dive into the charm of the Camino de Santiago, discover the history of the Spanish language in San Millán de la Cogolla and let the forests, natural routes, and gastronomic traditions guide you through this unique land.

Become a pilgrim of emotions at the La Rioja Festival 2024. Join us and let yourself be surrounded by the magic of this welcoming land. We look forward to creating unforgettable moments together, where music and history are intertwined in an eternal bond!

Artistic Director
