Twenty-five years ago, the concert series and competition of El Primer Palau was born, with the aim of giving young musicians who were just beginning their difficult and competitive career paths, the opportunity to debut in our Modernist Concert Hall.

Since the series saw the light, many of those who made their debut at the Palau on this platform are now a regular part of the programming of the best international auditoriums and concert halls, including the Palau de la Música Catalana. Exceptionally, during this 2020-21 concert season more than twenty soloists and chamber ensembles who were part of El Primer Palau in its first 25 years, will take part. In addition, ten young musicians will take part in this 25th edition of the series, which is open for the first time to musicians from member countries of the European Union. The Palau de la Música Catalana wishes to celebrate this initiative that has borne so much fruit since its inception and continues to support the musicians of the future.
