The Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona has announced that it will stream a special concert on September 27, 2020. The concert will be realized in collaboration between Gran Teatre del Liceu and Monasterio de Montserrat.

“There is the pain for those who are gone, but with the hope that from now on the humanity can do better. We have not been able to find a better place to transmit this hope than the mountain of Montserrat and its abbey, where nature, wisdom, knowledge, spirituality and art meet,” said conductor Josep Pons.

“At this time of great concern, Montserrat and the Liceu want to express confidence in the values ​​of culture, and to look forward with enthusiasm,” added Salvador Alemany, the President of the Liceu.
