Since its establishment in 1989, and for almost three decades, this institution has been fostering the visibility and dissemination of Galician culture, and promoting Santiago de Compostela on the international artistic circuit as an ideal place to visit, create, play, perform, exhibit and research. The entity boasts a treasure trove of archaeological heritage that includes the great building where is settled in, also named Auditorio de Galicia.
Home to the Real Filharmonía de Galicia since 1996, Auditorio has hosted great directors, eminent soloists and renowned orchestras and dance companies from all over the world. It’s also the headquarter of the Banda Municipal de Música de Santiago and develops yearly a well received musical programme for school-age children. Auditorio’s annual programming includes a huge variety of musical, theatre and dance series, two lauded film festivals, Cineuropa and Curtocircuito, and art exhibitions devoted to the consolidation of Galician artists and the spread of emerging creations.
During all these years, Auditorio created a large and live network of artists, agents, curators and institutions at both national and international scale, to reflect on the diversity of cultural expressions in contemporary society.
