Culture may not be something you immediately associate with Mallorca, but the Spanish island has a thriving cultural scene \u2013 including art, ballet, opera, and music of every genre. There are several annual music festivals, each comprising a series of concerts over a certain period.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

These range from the intimate weekly open-air jazz concerts of Banyalbujazz (July and August), in the coastal village of Banyalbufar, to the holiday season\u2019s massive Tuesday night gigs at Magaluf\u2019s Mallorca Rocks<\/a> venue, starring some of Britain\u2019s top bands, singers and DJs.<\/p>\n

Lovers of classical music may want to schedule their visit to Mallorca to coincide with one of the many concerts that take place during the various annual music festivals. Here\u2019s my top five \u2013 worth checking out if you\u2019re planning a visit to the island \u2013 with a suggested place to stay in each locality.<\/p>\n

Dei\u00e0 International Music Festival<\/strong><\/a>
\nNow in its 35th\u00a0year, this festival offers regular classical music concerts from May to September, featuring artistes from all over the world. The venue is the Son Marroig country house, which offers views of Mallorca\u2019s dramatic northwest coast and the sparkling Mediterranean. In the late 19th<\/sup> century, Son Marroig was one of several country estates near Dei\u00e0 which belonged to the Austrian explorer Archduke Ludwig Salvador \u2013 who fell in love with Mallorca during his travels. Visitors can enjoy a glorious sunset as well as classical music.<\/p>\n

Chopin Festival<\/strong><\/a>
\nValldemossa\u2019s international fame is largely due to the book \u2018A Winter in Majorca\u2019, written by George Sand about the winter she endured staying in the village monastery, with her lover Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Chopin. Valldemossa\u2019s inaugural Chopin Festival in 1930 was the first dedicated to the Polish composer, who wrote some of his work while staying in the village. The festival stopped when Franco came into power, and wasn\u2019t revived until 1981. Today there are concerts featuring international prize-winning pianists, on Sunday nights throughout August, held in the atmospheric atmosphere of the monastery cloisters.<\/p>\n

Pollen\u00e7a Festival<\/strong><\/a>
\nStarted 52 years ago, this arts festival takes place in August and includes music, art, cinema, and literature. Most of the concerts \u2013 of a variety of musical genres \u2013 take place under the stars in the cloister of Sant Domingo Convent in the town of Pollen\u00e7a. The Hotel Barcel\u00f3 Formentor also hosts occasional festival events.<\/p>\n

Festival de M\u00fasica Cl\u00e1sica Port de S\u00f3ller<\/strong><\/a>
\nAutumn brings this season of weekly classical music concerts, which take place at the charming Oratorio de Santa Caterina d\u2019Alexandria del Museu del Mar in Port de S\u00f3ller, and often featuring artistes from Germany. The final concert in the series usually takes place at the Jumeirah Port S\u00f3ller Hotel & Spa.<\/p>\n

Festival M\u00fasicaMallorca<\/strong><\/a>
\nNow in its 11th year, this festival includes performances of well-known operatic works, featuring artistes and orchestras from Germany, as well as the local Balearic Symphony. The main venue for this German-organized festival is the handsomely restored Teatre Principal in central Palma de Mallorca. This year\u2019s festival features seven concerts, between 6th October\u00a0and 16th November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
