Berkshire Choral International - Barcelona Week
Sing and study in Barcelona, one of Europe’s most vibrant cities. Grant Gershon, music director of the Los Angeles Master Chorale, will conduct Poulenc’s jaunty and radiant Gloria paired with Mendelssohn’s stirring Lobgesang (Hymn of Praise). We’ll perform with full orchestra and organ in the world-famous Palau de la Música, a breathtaking Art Nouveau hall.

Our week in Barcelona includes a half day city tour and visit to La Sagrada Familia and optional excursions to the Picasso Museum and Montserrat. Choristers will live at the Catalonia Barcelona Plaza, with wonderful views of Plaza de España, the Fountains and the Palace of Montjüic. It is equipped with a panoramic rooftop swimming pool and terrace, a gym, and central access to transportation.
Our performance venue, the Palau de la Música, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sing in this renowned venue, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The modernist building is designed around a central metal structure covered in glass, which exploits natural light to create a magical music box which brings together all the decorative arts: sculpture, mosaic, stained glass and ironwork.
