Festival de Música de Santa Catarina

Known as FEMUSC, this festival runs for two weeks each year in Jaraguá do Sul, in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. Billed as the largest classical music school festival in Latin America, it brings together students, teachers and musicians from Brazil and abroad for chamber music, opera and symphonic concerts, most of them free and open to the public across venues and public spaces in the city. A dedicated program for children and teenagers, Femusckinho and FEMUSC Jovem, extends the festival's educational focus.
