"Reconnecting with the public and working for the recovery of culture is essential for all the protagonists of the festivals,” says Festival Director, Alfredo Oyágüez. “During the coming months a large part of the Sector will make an effort to promote live music and I am confident that capacity can be expanded to 70-75% in summer.”
