Canary Islands Music Festival

January 2011 sees the start of the 27th Canary Islands Music Festival .... so why not spend a week on a holiday in Gran Canaria and gently see the New Year in with the magical voice of Nancy Fabiola Herrera, one of the world's most sought after mezzo-sopranos.  We have a 7 night break starting the 12 January at the 3 star Marinasol Aparthotel in San Agustin for £233 per person, based on two people sharing a one bedroom apartment on self-catering including return flights from Gatwick. 

The Canary Islands Music Festival is the only music festival held in Europe during the winter, and includes a programme of international acts and classical music world premieres.  Proving that there is more to Gran Canaria than a warm winter climate and beautiful beaches, Las Palmas [the capital] actually boasts the oldest private music socieity in the whole of Spain and was founded to organise concerts.  Choose from a performance by Florianer Sangerknaben, the Orchestra Sinfonica de Tenerife or Nancy Fabiola Herrera accompanied by pianist Ruben Fernandez Aguirre.  Performances take place on Sunday 16 January or Monday 17 January [tickets are not included in the cost of your holiday and cost from 15 euros ... see www.festivaldecanarias.com
