Patrons Circle

“FIMM is a unique festival that brings together top musicians from around the world, in an amazing setting that is Marvão, and with a particular touch of intimacy and friendship”

 

 

 



Katrien Buys

PRESIDENT – PATRONS CIRCLE

 

 

 

Founded in 2014, the Marvão International Music Festival has rapidly established itself as one of the most exciting new ventures on the European classical music scene, drawing audiences and top-level artists from around the globe.

 

Each edition is the result of immense passion, dedication, and hard work – but its continued success depends on securing a stable financial future.

We are calling on music lovers to help ensure the Festival’s future by joining our Patrons Circle.

With your support, FIMM will continue to thrive as one of the world’s leading classical music festivals – a symbol of national pride for Portugal, and a beacon of beauty, understanding, and international cooperation through the arts.

As a member, you will enjoy unparalleled access to the artists who bring the Festival to life, as well as exclusive insights into our future plans.

 

FUTURE PLANS
With your support, we can plan for the future

 

We aspire:

 

· To build a strong base of support from individuals, companies, trusts and foundations to ensure that the Festival remains sustainable in the long term and is able to continue attracting world-class musicians, both from within Portugal and internationally.

· To keep developing the Marvão Festival Chorus, built up from professional singers, in which music students and experienced amateur singers of all ages and nationalities are offered the opportunity to learn and perform together.

· To grow, on the success of the Festival, the Marvão International Academy for Music, Arts and Science, continuing to bring together experts and students from across the world to this unique ‘laboratory’, where musicians and artists can interact with natural scientists of all kinds, drawing on the inspiring biodiversity of the region and leading to new ways of multidisciplinary collaboration.
