Music and Fraternity
This concert forms part of the events commemorating the 150th anniversary of the birth of Pau Casals, a central figure in both Catalan and universal culture. We will perform El Pessebre, his great oratorio for peace, a work of profound spirituality and deeply humanistic inspiration.
Under the direction of Edmon Colomer, with an outstanding quintet of vocal soloists and Cor Madrigal, the Franz Schubert Filharmonia will perform this score of expansive choral and orchestral breadth. Music that transcends the Christmas setting to become an ethical message and a call for fraternity among peoples. A necessary tribute to a living legacy.
