Pablo Casals Day - Barcelona
19/06/2021

Concert in the auditorium of the Municipal Conservatory of Music of Barcelona

Pablo Casals Day is an initiative to commemorate and celebrate Pablo Casals‘ historical and symbolic link with the city of Barcelona, as well as his musical, social and popular dimension, contributing to its promotion among younger generations. On 16 June 1934 Barcelona City Council named Pablo Casals an adoptive son, awarded him the Medal of the City and named the avenue at the foot of Turó Park after him.
2015 saw the first Pablo Casals Day-Barcelona. In 2016, the Barcelona City Council institutionalised it and over the last few editions it has become a celebration open to all. This year, the Pablo Casals Day-Barcelona was held in the Eduard Toldrà Auditorium of the Municipal Conservatory of Music of Barcelona, with limited seating capacity.
