Introduction:

Barcelona, located on the appealing Mediterranean Coast boasts beautiful autumn temperatures around 22 degrees during the time of the Music and Friends festival Cantate Barcelona. This Catalan metropolis seamlessly fuses both new and old architecture, of which many sites are world heritage listed including works from Antoni Gaudi. Barcelona also manages a harmonious union of both the Catalan and Spanish cultures with a strong revival of the former after many years of repression.

Aside from the well known sporting fanaticism of this country, Barcelona also offers a huge diversity of entertainment and performing arts. Being a part of this excitement is surely something not to be missed by your group.

Concert Halls & Venues:

The Friendship concerts which are held in Barcelona and the Costa Brava bring together a guest choir with 2-3 foreign choirs. The Poble Espanol (Spanish Village) is an outdoor museum where the architecture, style and culture from all over Spain are brought together and presented in one location. Thousands of tourists visit this attraction daily and you may have the opportunity to perform at this venue amongst others.

Farewell Concert and Dinner:

During the final evening, all participating choirs present themselves in a concert hall in Girona with one song each of their choice. This is followed by a common dinner with music, song and fine food in the by now well known atmosphere of the Catalan hospitality.
