About the Event

The Sant Pau Festival presents renowned cellist Maximilian Hornung alongside the Franz Schubert Philharmonia, conducted by Tomàs Grau, at the Palau de la Música Catalana for an evening of intense musicality.
The concert opens with Camille Saint‐Saëns' Cello Concerto No. 1, a work of elegant lyricism and brilliant virtuosity that allows the cello to display its full expressiveness. Hornung then performs Alexey Shor's Cello Concerto No. 3, a contemporary piece that combines a modern language with a rich emotional charge.
The evening culminates with Igor Stravinsky's Suite from The Firebird (1919), a work full of color, energy, and narrative force that transports the listener to a fascinating sound universe.
An unmissable concert that brings together great soloists, a captivating repertoire, and the interpretive excellence of the Franz Schubert Philharmonia in one of the world's most iconic venues.
