ORDINO CLÀSSIC is an outward-looking event, with a diverse range of performers: from international greats to young Andorran musicians. The festival is made up of shows in different formats that offer a world of experiences, including large-scale concerts, smaller, day-time performances, a family concert, recitals by emerging young artists and musical workshops. These take place all over the parish of Ordino, every weekend from 8 December 2018 to 23 March 2019.
