PRESENTATION
What is the Festival Internacional de Música de Cantonigròs?
It is a Festival built on a base of competition and exhibition of mixed choral music, both female voices, children`s choir and popular dances, thta takes part every year, since 1983, at Cantonigròs and at Vic, during 4 days iof july.Groups from throughout the world are registred on the different categories, to take part on the 5 different competitions of which is made the Festival, and daily, a choice of groups take part in the Concert to be held at the end of the day, the “evening concert”.
Music and dance are perhaps
the means of communication which most move the spirit of those sensitive
to art, so, we have embarked on a venture with the aim of first
achieving a deeper knowledge of other cultures which also have a different
history to our own and which may even be made up of different attitudes
to our own.
In this way we are trying to achieve our target which may be more difficult
in other circumstances, through one of the arts such as music, in the
strengthening of friendly links among all the countries of the world,
The hope for peace and wellbeing amongst all nationalities.
Organization
The Festival is a private association, on which all the people that take part, work on a desinterested way. We have permanent offices in Barcelona and in Cantonigròs, that works all the year on the organization of the following edition.Also, during the festival, more than 400 voluntary people works under the service of the organization, like 800 families of more than 30 cities around Cantonigròs who open their doors and shelter the participants. Within our possibilities, we shall be arranging that all the groups from outside Catalunya, should be able to share in the life of our village, living together in our homes and taking part in the activities and way of life. In this way communication between us will have become an effective strengthened reality.
