This year marks the 125th anniversary of the death of the great German composer Johannes Brahms (Hamburg, 1833-Vienna, 1897), a symbol of musical romanticism. This festival commemorates it with four concerts dedicated to four fundamental genres in its catalogue: symphonism, piano music, string quartet and chamber music.
The four concerts are held from September 4 to 24 in the Claustre de Sant Domingo de Pollença. In case of rain these will be held in the church of Monti-sion de Pollença.
