Within the framework of the celebration of the centenary of the Cançoner Popular, and with the idea of connecting the past and the present, director Xavier Puig, along with musicologist Jaume Ayats, has curated a program of works collected in the Cançoner that have been arranged for choir by contemporary and active composers.

In 1921, Rafael Patxot i Jubert, an important patron of Catalan culture, commissioned the Orfeó Català to create the grand work of the Cançoner Popular de Catalunya, with the intention of collecting all the popular tunes from Catalan-speaking territories.

A hundred years later, the Palau's Chamber Choir proposes to fulfill Rafael Patxot's intention and contribute to the renewal and updating of our popular repertoire with new songs in choral versions by our best composers.
