Organized by the Granada International Festival of Music and Dance in collaboration with the University of Granada, and with the support of Fundación Unicaja as a Patron, the Manuel de Falla Courses represent the educational aspect of the Festival, offering high-level training and contributing to the advancement and updating of studies and professional fields in music, dance, and other related disciplines, all taught by internationally renowned faculty.

In its 2025 edition, the Courses resume activities held outside the Festival dates. In March, co-organized with the University of Granada, the course ¡Tech Beat! – An Overview of Musical Creation in the Digital Age will take place, and in May, the American conductor and composer Timothy Brock will lead a course on Theory and Techniques of Music for Silent Film.

During the Festival itself, the sixth edition of the Festival Baroque Academy will take place, this time focusing on composer Alessandro Scarlatti on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of his death, and including sacred works by Granadan composer José García Román. As the culmination of this course, three concerts will be held as part of the Granada International Festival of Music and Dance.

Alongside these activities, the traditional photography and participatory stage workshops will be offered, as well as courses in Spanish dance and contemporary dance, music pedagogy, and the fourth edition of the musical creation course, this year dedicated to cinema. Masterclasses in piano, Spanish dance, and chamber music for singers and pianists will also be provided.
