El Primer Palau Marathon

—Discovering young talents

Notice

Since 1996, the El Primer Palau competition-cycle has been committed to showcasing the future talents of classical music in the magnificent setting of the modernist concert hall. A debut filled with emotions shared with the audience, which has brought to the Palau some of the most outstanding musicians of recent years and those yet to come. Ensembles, programs, and a variety of instruments come together for a true musical celebration in a format of short concerts all held on the same day.

The El Primer Palau Marathon begins at 11 a.m. and continues into the afternoon, offering the audience the flexibility to attend the recitals they find most interesting, with a general admission ticket that provides access to up to 8 different concerts. It's a day to enjoy the hall, the music, and the geniuses of the future in a relaxed atmosphere that will inspire anyone looking to open a window into the future of music.
