This year’s programme brings together proposals that engage with different musical and aesthetic traditions, unfolding in intimate formats conceived for the acoustics of the Paranymph Hall. The edition will open on 5 February with Alba Careta and Henrio, presenting Udolç, a journey through the lullabies of the Càntut project, with own arrangements and Enric Casasses recited poems. On 12 February, it will be the turn of Amaia Miranda, a guitarist and composer who has consolidated a distinctive musical language and whose latest album has been placed among the most outstanding releases of the year. On 19 February, Cristina López Gómez will offer a concert in which flamenco tradition articulates with electronic experimentation, proposing an immersive sonic experience created in real time. The series will close on the 26 February, with Meritxell Neddermann, a pianist and composer who has developed a personal sound through the combination of keyboards, loops and vocal textures, and who has achieved a strong presence on international stages.
The artistic direction, led by TRESC, maintains its commitment to a programme that combines proximity, innovation and transversality, reaffirming the UB’s vocation to place music at the centre of its cultural activity. Since its creation, Vespres d’Hivern has become a benchmark event for audiences seeking to discover new voices and explore musical itineraries that often anticipate emerging trends.
Doors will open at 7.30 p.m. and the concerts will start at 8.00 p.m., tickets can be booked from 20 January, until maximum capacity is reached. All the information is available on the website.
The UB reaffirms its commitment to its own cultural programme, open and accessible, which places the Paranymph Hall as a meeting place for creators, university audiences and citizens.
