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.
