Casals Festival

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Casals Festival
Early June
This event is a two-week music festival held in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to celebrate the memory of Pablo Casals (1876-1973), the world-renowned Spanish-born cellist and conductor. An outspoken opponent of Fascism and the regime of Francisco Franco, he was forced to leave Spain and moved to France in 1936. Twenty years later he moved to Puerto Rico, the birthplace of his mother. There he initiated this music festival.
Through the years internationally known artists, among them Rudolf Serkin, AndrÉs Segovia, Arthur Rubenstein, Isaac Stern, and Yehudi Menuhin ( see also Menuhin Festival), have appeared at the festival. Programs offer a variety of composers, from Bach to Bartók.
