Festival Simfonic

After two editions of Barcelona Ciutat-Concert, this enterprise of simultaneous free concerts has come up with a new goal under the name Festival Simfònic: to spread out throughout Catalonia and double the number of concerts. On Saturday, June 8 at 6pm at various landmarks throughout Catalonia, more than 5,000 students from music schools will transform Catalonia into one giant concert with a programme that will include different formations and styles of music: symphonies, chamber music, piano recitals and choral singing, big band swing, jazz bands and gospel choirs, and ensembles of pop-rock, flamenco, funk, rap and hip hop.
