La guitarra que va veure créixer Barcelona, a càrrec de Joan Furió

Classical guitar recital by Joan Furió, part of the Cicle de Música Clàssica d'Horta-Guinardó, with a programme tracing the history of Barcelona through works by Sor, Albéniz, Sainz de la Maza and Tàrrega.

The programme traces the history of Barcelona and Catalonia through the classical guitar, from the walled Barcelona of Ferran Sor to the modernista metropolis of the Eixample, with the figure of Gaudí, who, according to the concert's premise, inspired Albéniz, Tàrrega and Mompou.

Furió performs works by Ferran Sor, Isaac Albéniz, Eduardo Sainz de la Maza and Francesc Tàrrega, among other composers. Between the pieces, he offers brief explanations that link the music to anecdotes, architecture and the evolution of society in each era.

The concert is part of the Cicle de Música Clàssica d'Horta-Guinardó and takes place at the Sala Polivalent de Montbau, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in Barcelona. It is aimed at an audience who can recognise themselves in the melodies and the stories of the city.
