A Tribute to a Pioneer

The Granollers Chamber Choir will present ‘Venim de Clavé’, a concert dedicated to the figure of Josep Anselm Clavé, in commemoration of the bicentenary of his birth.

Pieces by artists such as Taltabull, Oltra and Saderra will also be performed, allowing attendees to discover the richness of the Catalan musical heritage, recognized as one of the most outstanding in Europe.
A Narrated Experience
The concert will be enriched with narrations by Xavier Chavarria, who will guide the audience through the stories and contexts surrounding the pieces performed, bringing an additional dimension to the musical experience.
