The opening concert of the festival will belong to the phenomenal Spanish guitarist Ricardo Gallén, who will present his solo recital in the beautiful and acoustically attractive Hall of Mirrors of Primate's Palace. It will also include music by Cuban composer Leo Brouwer, who described the level of his mastery very rarely seen, with the words: "Immense creativity and virtuosity, which is sensed by just looking at his hands".

The concert is held with the financial support of the Embassy of Spain in Bratislava.
