Experience María Dueñas live on August 20th

María Dueñas will perform at the Palacio de Festivales de Cantabria in Santander, Spain on August 20, 2026. Dueñas is a Spanish pianist recognized for her interpretations of Romantic and contemporary classical music, particularly noted for her nuanced performances of composers like Chopin, Debussy, and Granados. Her playing is frequently described as possessing both technical brilliance and emotional depth, often focusing on Spanish musical heritage alongside broader repertoire. She gained prominence after winning the Paloma O’Shea Santander International Piano Competition in 2018.

The Palacio de Festivales de Cantabria, often referred to simply as “El Palacio,” is a prominent concert hall and conference centre located on the Bay of Santander. Designed by architect Francisco Mangado, it opened in 2014 and quickly became a landmark building for the city. The venue's striking exterior features a cantilevered roof designed to resemble the waves of the bay. It boasts a main hall with a capacity of approximately 1,800 seats and is equipped with advanced acoustic technology.
