Winter classical-music festival · January · Canary Islands
For sponsor delegations, brand activators and attending teams taking part in the Canary Islands International Music Festival (FIMC, winter cycle with dual headquarters in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, programming spread across the Auditorio Alfredo Kraus, the Auditorio de Tenerife Adán Martín, the Teatro Pérez Galdós, the Teatro Guimerá and the Paraninfo of the Universidad de La Laguna), with international symphony orchestras, chamber recitals, folk cycles and a brand-activation operation that combines hospitality in south Gran Canaria hotels (Hotel Gloria Palace San Agustín, Hotel Lopesan Costa Meloneras), institutional receptions at the Canary Islands Government headquarters in Las Palmas and last-mile logistics between Gran Canaria airport, Tenerife Norte and Tenerife Sur airports. EUR + 21% VAT via FACe / SII (AEAT) and 5–7 day delivery from the Madrid hub with daily air connection to the Canarian airports.
The Canary Islands International Music Festival — known as FIMC — is one of the reference dates on the European winter classical-music calendar: four to six weeks of programming that distributes symphonic cycles, chamber recitals, folk performances and chamber music between the Auditorio Alfredo Kraus in Las Palmas, the Auditorio de Tenerife Adán Martín in Santa Cruz, the Teatro Pérez Galdós, the Teatro Guimerá and the Paraninfo of the Universidad de La Laguna. The event draws a loyal audience of classical-music aficionados from the islands, the peninsula and Europe, national cultural press and European programmers on the winter circuit who cross the archipelago to scout the next season.
For sponsor delegations and brand-activation teams the operational challenge is to work with a classical-music festival in the middle of a Canarian winter — with mild temperatures of 22 °C in the afternoon and 17 °C at night that contrast with the peninsula cold — but with the added logistical complexity of sea and air transport between islands: the cycle operates in Las Palmas and Santa Cruz de Tenerife with travel along the TF-1 and GC-1 and sea links at the port of Santa Cruz. Hospitality is set up in either south Gran Canaria hotels (Hotel Gloria Palace San Agustín, Hotel Lopesan Costa Meloneras, Hotel Santa Catalina) or corporate hotels in Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Hotel Mencey, Hotel Iberostar Heritage Grand Mencey). The briefs we typically receive combine staff apparel in tune with the tropical-winter setting (fine linen shirts, 220 GSM polos, fine silk scarves for the night hall crew), lanyards and badges for institutional guests and accredited cultural press, premium notebooks with hand-made paper covers and a final gifting set with Canarian gourmet product (DO Abona wine, Volcanic brand support, mojo canario, flor de Guía cheese, artisan gofio, Fuerteventura aloe vera) for international artists and circuit programmers.
The Madrid production hub — with daily air connection to Gran Canaria (Gran Canaria Airport, LPA) and Tenerife (Tenerife Norte Airport, TFN; Tenerife Sur Airport, TFS) via Iberia, Binter, Vueling or Air Europa, and road connection (SEUR Canarias, Correos Express Canarias, DHL Express) to the named consignee — handles the entire order and delivers to the agreed location: the sponsor's office in Las Palmas or Santa Cruz, the reference hotel in south Gran Canaria, the Canary Islands Government offices or the storage enabled at the Auditorio Alfredo Kraus. The B2B invoice is issued in EUR with 21% VAT added via FACe / SII (AEAT); for intra-EU clients with a valid VIES number reverse-charge applies without Spanish VAT; for UK and non-EU clients the invoice is issued without VAT citing the corresponding EU directive article; Canarian operations are subject to the outermost region (RUP) condition with the specificities of IGIC and insular duties when applicable.
180 GSM fine linen shirts in off-white or ivory with two-colour embroidery of the sponsor's monogram, 220 GSM polos for the hall team, fine silk neck scarves for night staff at the back of the Auditorium, breathable cotton caps for the foyer crew outdoors at Las Canteras, recycled-twill aprons for the accredited press booth and packable anti-drizzle raincoats for the inter-island team (GC-1 + TF-1).
Premium notebooks with covers wrapped in Canarian hand-made paper, fine-tip pens with the FIMC seal, organic-cotton tote bags screen-printed with the Canarian skyline (Auditorio Alfredo Kraus, Auditorio Adán Martín, Roque Nublo), foldable bamboo fans for the hall crew, recycled-paper bookmark ribbons with archipelago engravings and engraved César Manrique postcard sets — 200 to 1,500 units per edition.
Compact branded power banks in muted design, USB hubs for the accredited cultural press booth at Pérez Galdós, foldable wireless chargers for the welcome team, screen-printed notebook + pen sets for symphonic programming delegates, national cultural press and invited programmers from Germany, France and the UK — 50–120 premium units per edition.
Premium hard-bound notebooks stamped with the sponsor's seal, Canarian gourmet sets (DO Abona wine, mojo canario, flor de Guía cheese, artisan gofio, Fuerteventura aloe vera, Canarian honey rum), limited editions of the festival poster screen-printed on hand-made paper, bilingual Spanish-English packaging and named delivery to the Auditorio Alfredo Kraus dressing room, Canary Islands Government offices or Auditorio de Tenerife dressing room.
The brand operation at FIMC is coordinated from the Madrid hub with daily air connection to the Canarian airports: Iberia Regional, Binter Canarias, Vueling and Air Europa operate daily flights to Gran Canaria (LPA) and Tenerife (TFN and TFS) from Madrid-Barajas, with cargo transit times of 24–48 hours after consignment at the peninsular hub. For urgent deliveries we use DHL Express and SEUR Canarias, with prior appointment at the accredited press booth at the Auditorio, the dressing room enabled at the main stage or the Canary Islands Government offices. The usual delivery window is 5–7 working days with prior appointment, since the cycle runs at the height of Christmas holidays and air and maritime operations to the Canaries carry heavy demand.
We keep reserved stock at the Madrid hub for the recurring items — linen shirts, polos, notebooks and tote bags with generic artwork — that we can produce and ship in 7–10 working days (air freight on top of production lead time). For pieces with personalised embroidery (sponsor's monogram, limited-edition poster number) the window moves to 12–14 working days. For sponsors with bespoke hospitality pieces (DO Canarian gourmet boxes, numbered island ceramics, lithographed honey rum bottles) we recommend closing the order 5–6 weeks before the first concert due to the delicacy of the gourmet product, the fragility of the island ceramics and the seasonality of the honey rum.
