Els Vespres dʼHivern start a new edition with unique projects of great artistic value. Once again, culture and music meet in one of the most spectacular places of Barcelona, the Paranimph of the Historical Building of the UB.

This eighth edition brings Júlia Colomʼs ingenious mix of tradition and modernity; Álvaro Solaʼs unique interpretation of flamenco; the new bond between pianist Marta Cascales and the voice of Carla Gimeno (The Grab Apples), and the Golden Slumbersʼ visit, an inspiration of the new Portuguese folk scene. 

The artistic direction is conducted by LʼAfluent, which is also in charge of the artistic direction of Barcelona Acció Musical (BAM) in La Mercè events in Barcelona. The innovative, open and cross-sectional essence of the cycle, which has become an inspiration in the city, is maintained.

The concerts, free of charge, will take place on Fridays, during February, at 8:00 p.m. Tickets require previous registration and are available on the website Els Vespres. These will be given to the audience from 19 January, on a staggered basis and until full room capacity is reached.  

Concerts:

3 February. Júlia Colom (tickets available from 19 January). Júliaʼs approach to Majorcan tunes and her pop sensitivity are her introduction letter. A different and authentic proposal that shows the artistʼs inner world with originality.

10 February. Álvaro Sola (tickets available from 26 January). Multidisciplinar artist that gives flamenco an amalgam of images and fresh sounds. Puñales tells a heartbreak story inspired by the seven sorrows of Mary. The deepest and most contemporary flamenco.

17 February. Golden Slumbers (tickets available from 2 February). Lisbon indie folk-pop duet formed by Margarida and Catarina Falcão. They use vocal harmonies and guitars in their songs and they write about love, family dynamics and femininity.

24 February. Grauwi + Marta Cascales (tickets available from 9 February). Project by the the Barcelona girls Carla Gimeno (vocals) and Marta Castales (piano). In their intimate pop proposal, music and lyrics, delicacy and harshness, piano and voice, merge.
