Concerts in Park Güell
to
Park Güell Carrer d'Olot, 08024 Barcelona
This year, on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Josep Anselm Clavé, the Park Güell concert series highlights the repertoire of Catalan composers who composed patriotic hymns during the “Glory Revolution” and the years of the “Democratic Year,” led by the Catalan composer, politician and writer.
These open-air concerts aim to be a space for dialogue and reflection on the musical paths that marked the cultural identity of an era, and of the city in general.
Entrance is free, but seats are limited and must be reserved in advance.

July 4: We come from Clavé! with the Chamber Choir of Granollers
The chosen program shows the formidable heritage left in the Catalan and Barcelona choral and musical world by the legacy of Anselm Clavé, an illustrious Barcelonan who was born two hundred years ago.
July 11: Barcelona, Capital of Jazz
With the introduction of radio, now a hundred years ago, live music poured into homes across the country. The radio was a tool for the dissemination and democratization of music and it brought the great figures in music to everyone.
July 18: Classics on the Radio
A repertoire linked to the classic programs that were made during the initial years of radio in Barcelona. In the studios chamber orchestras played the music live over the air.
