Last Thursday, October 20, the Joan Manén Association signed an agreement with the Fundació Privada Música Simfònica i de Cambra in which the program of concerts of the "Els teus clásicos" Cycle is agreed in Sant Cugat del Vallès.
The main objective of the Joan Manén Association is to develop a task of recovery and dissemination of Catalan musical heritage throughout the territory with concerts that include works by Catalan authors performed by quality musicians. The cycle "Els teus clàssics" that the association organizes annually in Barcelona is one of the organization's main projects to highlight all of this heritage. To expand this task, the Joan Manén Association has decided to co-organize concerts with several relevant Catalan musical entities that usually develop a stable season of concerts. With the agreement signed last Thursday, Fundació Privada Música Simfònica i de Cambra of Sant Cugat is involved in this project by programming in its series some of the concerts in co-production with the Joan Manén Association which will also form part of the Concert Series "Els teus clàssics".
Catalonia has a rich musical heritage that is often completely unknown to the public and the performers. With Els teu clàssics a Catalunya project, the Joan Manén Association and the Fundació Privada Música Simfònica i de Cambra want to give a new impetus to the dissemination of music by Catalan authors by enriching their programs and taking a step forward so that the public know and fully enjoy the music of their country through quality interpretations.
Fundació Privada Música Simfònica i de Cambra manages and represents the Sant Cugat Symphony Orchestra, which has performed 740 concerts throughout the country. In addition to symphonic concerts, the Foundation organizes chamber music concerts and numerous educational activities. The Sant Cugat Symphony Orchestra was created in 1990 and has been conducted by Salvador Brotons, Joan Albert Amargós, Edmon Colomer, Donald Appert, Miguel Roa, Enrique Ricci, Miquel Ortega, David Jiménez, Peter Herbolzheimer, José Carlos Martínez, Juan Asin, Jordi Piccorelli, Daniel Gil, Grigor Palikarov, Antoni Ros-Marbà, Gerard Claret, Luca Bagagli, Santiago Serrate or Roit Feldenkreis.
