ECOSistema Sierra Espuña

We want to build a community of people who love early music and nature around the Sierra Espuña area.

We’re looking for friends, collaborators, volunteers, micro-patrons, artists, artisans, and more, to receive early information, participate in exclusive events, and get personalized offers.

The Regenerative Culture ECOS project (Early Music Project Association) has received funding through the “Competitive Grants for Expanding and Diversifying Cultural Offerings in Non-Urban Areas, from the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan (PRTR)” provided by the Institute of Cultural Industries and Arts of the Region of Murcia.

This plan has helped boost various activities aimed at stimulating cultural dynamism in rural areas, focusing on sustainability, diversity, modernization, internationalization of the Region of Murcia’s brand, and addressing demographic challenges.

ECOS Festival received the REMA Award in Dublin for ‘Best Artist Development Program’. The award recognized its ECOS Labs, an initiative that started in 2020 due to the pandemic and was revived in the 6th edition of the festival thanks to the University of Murcia.

Through this award, the ECOS Sierra Espuña Festival shows its commitment to emerging ensembles, young talent, and internationalization. ECOS Labs is a program developed by Jorge Losana and David Gutiérrez.

ECOS Festival of Sierra Espuña, organized by Early Music Project along with the Sierra Espuña Tourist Consortium and the University of Murcia, has been held annually since 2017 during the summer in the Region of Murcia, specifically in the municipalities of Aledo, Alhama de Murcia, Librilla, Mula, Pliego, and Totana.

The festival aims to achieve high musical quality by attracting music professionals both nationally and internationally, enhance the tourism and cultural offerings of the Region of Murcia, and promote the value of local and regional heritage.

ECOS features a blend of concerts, nature, heritage, children’s activities, and tourism experiences centered around early music. Additionally, it includes ECOS Labs, a series of educational and supplementary activities designed to attract young professionals specializing in early music from around the world, providing them with tools to facilitate their integration into the international music circuit.

ECOS Festival collaborates with Juventudes Musicales de España and is part of Festclásica, the Spanish Association of Classical Music Festivals, as well as REMA, the European Early Music Network, which brings together the most important international festivals, making ECOS the sixth Spanish member. Albert Edelman, president of REMA, described the ECOS Festival as “a young festival with innovative ideas, essential for the cultural development of European regions.

ECOS is much more than a festival: it’s a gathering of sensations and sounds that, set against a stunning natural and historical backdrop, becomes a unique experience.
