«Navacerrada is a wonderful place. It’s just a couple of minutes away from my house, where my family has been living for over 20 years. It was here, in Navacerrada, where I offered my first concert as a child after moving over to Europe. I am really happy to have the chance of teaching here and sharing my knowledge and expertise with young musicians.»
The 2025 Winter JIV will be held from 5th to 7th December ending with a final concert of young violin students participants of the Winter JIV and also at Teatro de la Casa de la Cultura on December 7th, at 19:30 h.
Navacerrada is a municipality located in Sierra de Guadarrama, 52 kilometers (32 mi) from Madrid. It lies on the entrance of the beautiful valley of La Barranca at an elevation of 1,203 metres (3,947 ft).
We would like to thank the Ayuntamiento (Townhall) and Casa de la Cultura of Navacerrada for their support.
