Cobla Sant Jordi-Ciutat de Barcelona

The Cobla Sant Jordi-Ciutat de Barcelona takes to the stage of the Petit Palau, joined by composer and arranger Joan Albert Amargós and countertenor Xavier Sabata.

This musical proposal brings together one of the most representative ensembles of the cobla sound with established creators in the Catalan sphere. The Cobla Sant Jordi-Ciutat de Barcelona maintains a constant activity in promoting this traditional instrumental format, combining the classical repertoire with contemporary commissions and collaborations with soloists from different vocal and instrumental disciplines.

In this concert, the repertoire moves through arrangements specifically written for this line-up and pieces that highlight the expressive possibilities of traditional instruments alongside the voice. The presence of Xavier Sabata brings a particular operatic and interpretative dimension, while the musical direction of Joan Albert Amargós ensures painstaking work on the orchestration and sonic balance on stage.

The Petit Palau offers an ideal setting for this type of chamber format, where the acoustics allow the nuances of each instrument to be appreciated. The evening is aimed at audiences interested in the evolution of roots music and in intimate symphonic formats that explore new avenues of expression within Barcelona's cultural scene.
