About
The Cathedral, whose porch names the Festival, has a special role because it is where the festival opens every edition with a sacred music concert. There are also exhibitions, lectures and meetings with the musicians that create a lively musical atmosphere all over the city as long as the festival lasts.
Ourense Council organizes the festival and Ourense Diputación together with Asociación Pórtico Musical co-organize it.
Galician government – Xunta de Galicia- and AGADIC also support the organization with their sponsorship and help.
