Midori & Franz Schubert Filharmonia at Palau de la Musica Catalana

About the Event

In this highly‐anticipated concert, hear the mellifluous sounds of classical music by Brahms and Tchaikovsky at Barcelona's treasured and world‐renowned Palau de la Música Catalana.

In 2021 Midori made her debut with the Franz Schubert Philharmonia. At the end of that tour, Midori informed them that she would be celebrating her 40th birthday in 2023 and that it would be a great pleasure to celebrate it in Barcelona with the orchestra. It is a privilege to have the friendship and trust of this extraordinary violinist and to perform with her one of the most enchanting and majestic concertos, Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto.

Palau de la Música Catalana
The Palau de la Musica Catalana is a dazzling building situated in the northern part of Barcelona's Old Town. An architectural jewel of the Catalan Art Nouveau style, built between 1905 and 1908, its rich interior displays the work of the region's artisans in the form of stained‐glass windows, ceramics, sculptures, paintings and blacksmithing. The extensive use of glass in the construction of the venue creates stunningly radiant interiors. The dusty red facade of the Palau is decorated with busts of great composers including Bach, Beethoven and Wagner, and colorful mosaics in floral patterns.

The centre of the Palau is the magnificent concert hall, entirely lit by natural sunlight due to the extraordinary skylight in the centre of the richly ornate ceiling, which is popular for symphonic and chamber music. According to Lluís Domènech i Montaner, the architect who designed the Palau, the aim was to create a “garden for music” – an objective he definitely managed to achieve.
