Practical Information

Orfeó Català Concert Series
Choral singing is the focus of this concert series. Honoring the words of Catalan poet Joan Maragall, who once described the Palau as the "House of Singing", this series presents the Choral School and Palau ensembles as well as prestigious national and international guest choirs.

Please note: In some areas of the Palau de la Música Catalana, some seats have a partially obstructed view of the stage. Palau de la Música Catalana recommends Category A for the finest and completely unobstructed view of the performance.
