Each new edition of the Rialp Music Festival brings a special sparkle to life in the village of Rialp (El Pallars Sobirà - Spain) with another rich and generous helping of musical culture.

Year after year a good number of top quality musicians have offered concerts in Rialp and accustomed the local population to hearing live music of great beauty performed by technically skilled musicians. These performances also offer the local population an opportunity to consolidate and diffuse an important cultural activity that helps to promote the village of Rialp and to make this event a point of reference within the wider calendar of summer music festivals organised in Catalonia. But this is not just another festival. Visitors may be surprised by the excellent quality of the programme and its relative youthful vigour compared with other more established events.

The Vila de Rialp Music Festival is a good example what constitutes a well thought out initiative within its field. It also shows the generosity of the Young Musicians of El Pallars Sobirà, from their president down to the youngest participant. As already seen, this generosity is accompanied by a rigour and quality that serve to encourage new listeners and to promote an interest in studying and greater understanding of this type of music.
