The Torroella de Montgrí Festival is a music festival held since 1981 in this Baix Empordà town, and a member of the European Festivals Association since 1992. Its concerts, which began as a modest series in the medieval setting of the old town, are held in heritage venues such as the Gothic church of Sant Genís, the Gothic-Renaissance arcaded square and the former Convent of the Augustinians; by 2019, 39 editions had been held, with a total of 928 concerts and more than 435,729 spectators. Performers who have appeared on its stage include the pianists Joaquín Achúcarro and Fazil Say, the cellist Mischa Maisky and the guitarist Narciso Yepes, as well as the Barcelona and National Orchestra of Catalonia and Jordi Savall's Capella Reial de Catalunya.
