Catalan Song at the Palau

“I have had very few experiences like these in my life,” explained Antoni Ros-Marbà after performing Eduard Toldrà's Maig at the Palau de la Música Catalana alongside Victoria de los Ángeles. “I felt a kind of shiver down my spine,” he continued. Following this tradition of performing Catalan song with an orchestra, we offer this recital at the Palau de la Música Catalana, in collaboration with the institution and as part of its season. This vindication of Catalan musical heritage was essential to the celebration of the centenary of Victoria de los Ángeles, an artist who took Catalan song all over the world, becoming one of its greatest ambassadors. Granados, Mompou, Montsalvatge, Toldrà, Rodrigo, or García Morante performed by a quartet of emerging yet established talents such as Mercedes Gancedo, Montserrat Seró, and Carles Pachón. A unique opportunity to hear Catalan song with an orchestra.
