The story

Andorra Sax Fest in Andorra la Vella

Andorra Sax Fest turns Andorra la Vella into an international saxophone capital for a week each spring, combining a multi-round solo competition recognised by the World Federation of International Music Competitions with masterclasses by leading performers, recitals, and a street parade of saxophonists. It draws players and teachers from dozens of countries into venues compact enough to study technique up close.

An international jury listening to saxophonists fight through eliminatory rounds at the Centre de Congressos is the competitive heart of Andorra Sax Fest, a festival devoted to a single instrument.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Whole festivals devoted to one instrument are rare, and Sax Fest's competition carries genuine weight: it is recognised by the World Federation of International Music Competitions, which places it among a select group of contests worldwide

02

The mystery stays covered

The event's dual identity is also unusual — a serious competition and a teaching festival run side by side, so the same week offers jury-level performance and open masterclasses at the La Llacuna cultural centre

03

The city starts moving

The Walking Street Music parade, which pours saxophonists into the capital's streets, gives the festival its most visible public moment
