The first festival took place in 1973. Since then, world-renowned classical music groups and artists come to Ciutadella every summer.

Furthermore, the concerts are held in a unique venue: the cloister in the Church of El Socorro seminary, in Ciutadella. The festival programme is usually top quality and includes a wide variety of events. Famous opera singers, musicians and orchestras can be seen at this festival. Ainhoa Arteta, Joan Pons and the flautist Claudio Arimany are some of the artists who have performed at the festival. Illa de Menorca Chamber Orchestra also plays every year.
