Martin Audio has announced a Special Event to take place on February 16th, 2021, getting its 50th Anniversary year off to an energetic start.

Since 1975, Madrid’s Juan March Foundation Auditorium has offered the city’s population a rich offering of live music – generally classical – free of charge.
