Since 1981, the Pau Casals International Music Festival has been held every summer at the Pau Casals Auditorium in El Vendrell. A festival that celebrates both local and international classical music, it is an opportunity to see some exceptionally talented musicians performing live. 

This year's programme is teeming with concerts with a special emphasis on chamber music, particularly performances by prestigious cellists. Some of the highlights include Death and the Maiden (July 15^th), Bach and his Inspirers (July 17t^h), The Last Beethoven (July 20^th), The Carnival of the Animals (July 21^st), and The Last Disciple of Casals (July 22^nd).

The festival pays particular homage to the famous Catalan cellist, composer and conductor, Pau Casals, who was born in 1876. He believed that music and culture should serve as a channel for communication between people and cultures. His memory lives on through the auditorium and this special music festival.
