L’esperit d’una època: música de Narcisa Freixas i Pau Casals

Marking the centenary of the death of Sabadell-born Narcisa Freixas and the 150th anniversary of the birth of Pau Casals, this concert offers a reappraising look at two figures…

Narcisa Freixas, born in Sabadell, built a career marked by pedagogy and by the creation of a repertoire aimed at children and the educational sphere. Her songs combine literary text and music with sensitivity, in a language that is direct yet elaborate. Pau Casals, the cellist, is the other figure in this proposal, and both names form part of the Catalan musical heritage of the twentieth century.

The concert sets up a dialogue between these two complementary voices, who are now being rediscovered. It is designed for a young audience and forms part of the commemorations of the Any Pau Casals, marking the 150th anniversary of the cellist's birth and the centenary of Freixas's death.
