CLÀSSIC-END |

While the Andorran National Classical Orchestra (ONCA) provided the opening act to the first edition of CLÀSSICAND, in this second edition it will bring an end to the festival. At this very special event, attendees can enjoy a show complete with music, lights and water at the popular Rotonda fountains in Andorra la Vella. With accompaniment from two young Andorran vocal talents, in this dramatic setting the ONCA will bring us a number of arrangements that all revolve around one theme: water. A fitting way to draw this year's festival to a close.
