Joan Manuel Serrat: 25th Peralada Festival

About the Event

Enjoy a wonderful concert with the great singer and song‐writer Joan Manuel Serrat at the 25th Peralada Festival.

The first concerts of the Castell de Peralada International Music Festival took place in 1987 and since then it has been held, without exception, during the months of July and August at the historical venue of Castillo de Peralada. In 1992, it became part of the select European Festivals Association (EFA), which underlined it as a high‐quality festival on a par with other important events such as Bayreuth, Berlin, Florence and Salzburg. The Castell de Peralada Festival showcases recitals by famous singers, symphony and choir concerts, operas, musical theatre, dance, jazz, pop, chamber music concerts and family‐orientated performances.

To open this 25th edition, Serrat, accompanied by the Orquesta Sinfónica del Vallès and his loyal travelling companion, pianist Ricard Miralles, will show us how the old songs take on a new feel with arrangements by composer Joan Albert Amargós, who will also be conducting. Songs from his early days and his special tribute to Miguel Hernández will come to life again to show us emotional memories are formed through what we hear.

The festival actively supports Spanish composers and artists and commissions projects and musical scores with the aim of enriching the cultural variety on offer in Spain. At the same time, soloists and prestigious international ensembles from different artistic fields are invited to take part. This philosophy has allowed Peralada to enjoy a widespread fame and has positioned the festival as one of the most important cultural events in Spain during the summer period.
