Plataforma. Performing Arts Festival was created with one purpose in mind: to enrich and enhance the cultural power of Santiago de Compostela in all its diversity. Since the festival was launched in 2020, this goal has been achieved in each successive edition, creating real communication experiences between the public and the city through art.

This programme, designed with primary school children in mind, aims to bring contemporary music to a children’s audience and arouse the curiosity of the next generations with regard to the art of our time.

Once again, the CGAC has been invited to take part in the Opera Week of the Teatro Real in Madrid. On this occasion, our auditorium will host the live streaming of Adriana Lecouvreur by Francesco Cilea (1866-1950), based on the play of the same name by Eugène Scribe and Ernest Legouvé.

The dance will return to the streets of Santiago de Compostela from September 5 to 7 with the celebration of the eighth edition of the HerDanza Festival.

The program will once again give visibility to emerging Galician dance projects so that they have a space to showcase their work.

Organised by the Auditorium of Galicia - Compostela Cultura, the City Council of Santiago, the Galician Centre for Contemporary Art (CGAC) and the University of Santiago de Compostela, with the financial support of the Provincial Council of Corunna, the Contemporary Music Sessions bring a ‘kaleidoscope’ of sounds and artistic proposals to Compostela.

Once again this year, the CGAC is renewing its commitment to performance by collaborating with the performative arts festival, Plataforma. Festival de artes performativas. This festival, founded with the mission and goal of enriching the cultural potential of Santiago de Compostela, is now in its 5th edition and has already become a benchmark cultural event in the city in May.

Coinciding in space and time with the staging of the forthcoming temporary exhibitions at the CGAC, Ensemble Liberdade will carry out a musical residency project based on the idea of construction and creation in progress.

The programme will begin with a concert for concrete mixer aimed at all audiences and will conclude with a series of didactic concerts designed for children and adults, respectively.

Maria Callas is universally known. She was an opera singer who transcended that artistic sphere to become a cultural icon with millions of followers around the world, giving rise to the mythomania that all modern-day sopranos must face in one way or another.
