Mediterranean Day Concert in Barcelona
30 November 2024, Barcelona. To commemorate the day, the Union for the Mediterranean, together with IEMED, the City of Barcelona, the Government of Catalonia and the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs will offer a concert at the Saló del Tinell in Barcelona under the direction of the renowned musician, conductor and musicologist Jordi Savall.
The concert seeks to fuse classical Arabic music, Catalan popular music and oriental flamenco by the Syrian couple Ahmad Dyab and Aseel Massoud. At a time when violence is once again shaking the Mediterranean region, the repertoire of maestro Savall seeks to be “Music for life and dignity”.
The livestream of the video will be available here on the day of the concert.
