    Description

    A new benchmark for the city's classical music scene has emerged from the coming together of the Liceu Opera, the Palau de la Música Catalana and L’Auditori: Barcelona Obertura Classic and Lyric. This initiative aims to promote Barcelona's rich variety of music on the world map, as one of the global cities where classical music matters.

    Goals
