‘Millenary of Montserrat’ concert

On Thursday 22 May, the Palau de la Música Catalana will host an extraordinary concert to commemorate the Millenary of Montserrat.

About this event

A unique event bringing together three highly prestigious musical forces: the Escolania de Montserrat, the Capella de Música de Montserrat and the Orquestra del Miracle, under the direction of the renowned organist Juan de la Rubia.

The evening promises to be a journey through the majesty of the Baroque, with a repertoire carefully selected for the occasion. The concert will open with Georg Friedrich Händel’s O praise the Lord with one consent (HWV 254), a choral work full of vitality and spirituality. This will be followed by Antonio Vivaldi’s Concerto for violin, organ and orchestra in D minor (RV 541), an instrumental jewel in which virtuosity and emotion converse. Johann Sebastian Bach’s profound and moving cantata Christ lag in Todesbanden (BWV 4) will close the programme.

A unique occasion celebrating a thousand years of the spiritual and cultural history of the Monastery of Montserrat through music, in an emblematic setting and with exceptional performers. A sonic tribute to tradition, faith and art that will mark a milestone in the millenary celebrations.
