This week, the auditorium in Girona will feature four distinct events across various genres and formats. On Friday, 13 November, the popular Catalan band Els Catarres will kick off their new tour with a concert that has already sold out. The following day, Saturday, 14 November, the auditorium will host a talk titled "The music of wine" by guest artist Josep Roca, a renowned sommelier and co-founder of the acclaimed restaurant El Celler de Can Roca.
Later that evening, Alosa, a rising star in the new Catalan folk scene, will perform with over twenty musicians on stage to present their debut album, El primer canto del amanecer. The weekend will conclude on Sunday, 15 November, with a performance of Fauré's 'Requiem', conducted by Mireia Barrera and featuring the Da Camera Orchestra and the Cor Barcelona Ars Nova.
After fifteen years of touring various stages and festivals, Els Catarres will return to their roots in a trio format for their tour titled La Santísima Trinidad. The concert will take place at 20:00 in the Sala Montsalvatge, where the band will provide an intimate journey through their most iconic songs, specially adapted for this occasion.
On Saturday, 14 November, at 18:00, Josep Roca will lead the first event in this year's guest artist series. His talk will explore the connections between music and wine, drawing on experiences with prominent musicians throughout his career.
