The latest edition of MMVV, under the artistic direction of Joan Rial, Jordi Casadesús, and Rubèn Pujol, will take place from September 17th to 21st, with more than seventy concerts, nearly forty premieres, and a clear focus on the professionalization of the music industry. In addition to the concerts, the program includes professional activities, debates, meetings, and the presentation of a protocol guide to combating gender-based and LGBTI-phobic violence in the performing arts, as part of a commitment to safer and more equitable environments in live music.
Singer Rocío Márquez, accompanied by guitarist Pedro Rojas, presented Himno Vertical in a reduced format, in a performance that blended flamenco, classical music, and contemporary experimental atmospheres. It was the central event of the opening, which also brought together authorities such as the Regional Minister of Culture of the Generalitat (Catalan Government), Sònia Hernández, and the Mayor of Vic, Albert Castells.
