This year, Eugi will welcome again musicians from various countries who will come together to study and play chamber music in places of great natural beauty and historical and cultural significance.
In its third year, and after the great success of last Summer’s performances, FIMNa will be organising concerts again in Eugi and Zubiri. The Festival will also bring its music across the border to France once again, this time to the beautiful church of Saint Étienne de Baïgorry. This is the start of a unique collaboration with Baïgorry’s Organ Association and their Festival Musical de Basse Navarre.

FIMNa’s programme for this year will be an exciting mix of concerts, workshops and the premiere of a new Pilgrim Song written by John Barber in collaboration with children from the Esteribar Valley as part of our outreach programme: FIMNa in the Community.

Cross-Border cooperation with l’Association Orgue en Baïgorry and its Festival Musical de Basse Navarre

This year FIMNa’s artists will be invited to perform in the church of Saint Étienne de Baïgorry (France) on Monday, 16th August as part of the 11th Edition of the Festival Musical de Basse Navarre (organised by l’Association Orgue en Baïgorry). This will be the first step in a cross-border relationship between the two festivals which will develop in future years within the framework of cooperation between the regions of Aquitania and Navarra. This project is embedded within the Council of Eugi´s objectives and projects at present which aim at developing social, cultural and economic links between the Baigorri Valley and Eugi.
