XVIII Concurso Internacional de Música de Cámara de Arnuero

The Arnuero International Chamber Music Competition (CIMCA) was born as a national competition for young musicians that over the years has become a true international gathering of musicians from very different countries. A moment for the exchange of experiences between young performers of very diverse nationalities and a platform to help them in their professional careers as stable chamber ensembles. And also a space for discovering the composers of our time.
