Eduard Escoffet, poet
Maria Arnal, singer

Eduard Escoffet, guest poet of the season, and the singer and composer Maria Arnal present a unique proposal to approach and rediscover the stage of the Palau and its muses. With an action expressly conceived by the two creators, recorded voice and live voice will be combined with other sound elements. Unlike most concerts that take place in the concert hall, this time the audience will sit on stage and can discover the building from another perspective, being transported through the voice, multiplied and superimposed through various cassette reproduction devices, and open a new landscape from the space where the muses protect the public.

Dialogue between Lluís Domènech Girbau and the organist Juan de la Rubia on the parallels that can be established between music and architecture. Both are abstract, reflective arts, with communication systems that could well be a project or a score. The idea of composition and architecture evokes two decisive figures in the history of the Palau: the father of the modernist building and one of the composers whose music inspired the creation of the Orfeó Català.
