The Vespres d'Hivern are back at the University of Barcelona, with an edition focused on projects with a lot of personality and great artistic value. After nineteen editions, the Vespres has become a benchmark for local musical talent. In this winter edition, music will once again fill one of the city's most emblematic spaces: the Paranymph Hall of the Historic Building.

The free concerts will take place every Friday in February at 8.00 p.m., and tickets are available on the website of the Vespres. 

On 2 February, the opening concert will be brought by Magalí Datzira, who, with the release of her first solo album, Des de la cuina, shows herself as a unique, free, and unclassifiable artist. Tickets will be available from 17 January.

The following week, on 9 February, it will be the turn of singer Selma Bruna. After a successful experience leading the Marala project, she makes her solo debut with her first album, Dorsal. A journey that combines the most traditional, almost tribal sound with modern melodies and productions that achieve a highly original sonority. Tickets will be available from 23 January.

The third concert will be on 16 February. The singer, pianist and composer Bru Ferri will present his new double album, created from the poems of Federico García Lorca's youth and his own lyrics: an approach to flamenco fusion, from the Spanish and Catalan singer-songwriter and popular song. Invitations will be available from 30 January.

On 23 February, the singer-songwriter Mar Pujol will close the cycle with Cançons de despensa, her first album, which celebrates the ordinary turned extraordinary. It manifests itself in a live format with an exceptional richness of sound, in which the music becomes a profound and unforgettable sensory experience. Invitations will be available from 6 February.

The artistic direction of the event is carried out by the cooperative L'Afluent, which works to maintain the innovative, open and transversal essence of the cycle, and which is also in charge of the artistic direction of the Barcelona Acció Musical (BAM) during the Mercè festivities.
