The FIMPV has been one of the region's cultural references for 47 years. For this year's edition we have several new features, including a very special concert with the Gulbenkian Orchestra, a Cuban Orchestra that will combine Mozart with Mambo and the premiere of the new Póvoa de Varzim Arena. The current FIMPV programme includes not only classical music, but also ballet, jazz concerts, themed recitals, performances, conferences, an international composition competition, open-air concerts and family concerts.
