Pau Casals a Puerto Rico. Un arxiu inèdit

The exhibition Pau Casals a Puerto Rico. Un arxiu inèdit brings together documents on the Caribbean period of the cellist and composer.

The Sala d'Exposicions Temporals in Barcelona hosts this exhibition, which traces the final years of Pau Casals's life, focusing on the period he spent in Puerto Rico between 1955 and 1973. Through this itinerary, visitors discover the documentary evidence of his artistic and intellectual work on the island, where he promoted cultural projects, founded musical institutions, conducted orchestras and composed.

The exhibition is based on the holdings of the Fundació Pau Casals and the Fideicomiso Pablo Casals de Puerto Rico. Through these archives, the public can follow the traces of the working processes, negotiations and professional relationships that shaped that public activity and the musical life of those years alongside other people.

This visit is designed for anyone interested in the history and career of this leading figure of the twentieth century, who also stood out as a conductor, teacher and advocate for peace. The display unfolds across the rooms to show a broad picture of his contribution to culture.
