El componente formativo del Cartagena Festival siempre ha sido prioritario en la consolidación del proyecto. Paralelo al programa artístico, los programas académicos buscan formar a los asistentes en diferentes aspectos de la música, tanto de manera teórica como práctica.
Talks by Giovanni Bietti
Maestro Giovanni Bietti’s musical conferences have established themselves as one of the unmissable and most anticipated events of the Cartagena Music Festival. These talks, accompanied by Bietti’s piano performance, are an immersion in the theme of the Festival to understand it more deeply and clearly. A must-see!

This project, which was born 5 years ago, has been consolidated as a city project that works for 10 months a year where young people have access to instrumental and symphonic workshops, chamber music, luthiery, leadership, among other things.
