PALAU DE LA MÚSICA CATALANA<br />

The Palau de la Música Catalana is a concert hall in <strong>Barcelona</strong>, Catalonia, Spain.<br />

Designed in the Catalan modernista style by the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner,<br />

it was built between 1905 and 1908 for the Orfeó Català, a choral society founded in<br />

1891 that was a leading force in the Catalan cultural movement that came to be<br />

known as the Renaixença (Catalan Rebirth). It was inaugurated February 9, 1908.<br />

The project was financed primarily by the society, but important financial contributions<br />

also were made by <strong>Barcelona</strong>’s wealthy industrialists and bourgeoisie. The Palau<br />

won an award from the <strong>Barcelona</strong> City Council in 1909, given to the best building built<br />

during the previous year. Between 1982 and 1989, the building underwent extensive<br />

restoration, remodeling, and extension under the direction of architects Oscar<br />

Tusquets and Carles Díaz. In 1997, the Palau de la Música Catalana was declared a<br />

UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Hospital de Sant Pau. Today, more than half<br />

a million people a year attend musical performances in the Palau that range from<br />

symphonic and chamber music to jazz and Cançó (Catalan song).
