This concert is part of Mireia Barrera's farewell tour as the director of the Cor Madrigal, a position she assumed in 1993 and has performed uninterruptedly over the course of 26 years. The program consists of works that have proved particularly significant in the history of the choir throughout this period.
Mireia Barrera studied at the Municipal Music Conservatory of Barcelona and in Namur, Belgium. Since 1993, she has directed the Madrigal Choir of Barcelona and from 2005 to 2010, she was director of the National Choir of Spain. In 2014, she won the National Culture Prize for "her struggles in musical innovation through the introduction of the work of contemporary composers in the choirs she's directed."
