Hey! So, it looks like you guys are going to get a “two for one” today. I’m feeling quite blog-a-licious. It happens. Anyways, I just got back from the Palau de la Música Catalana a few hours ago. Four of my friends and I headed over there this afternoon to listen to an afternoon concert (which started at 7pm... phew!). The music was all in Catalan or Spanish (or by Spanish composers) and was incredible. I loved it! The Hall was beautiful, and I took some pictures (even though there was a picture vigilante running around (grr.. the flash was off!). You can check them out here:

Oh! I believe there are some museum and small group photos in there, as well. The paintings were done by Sorolla in the early 1900’s and are a representation of each of the different regions in Spain. They are normally in NY, but were shipped over to the MNAC (museo nacional del arte de catalunya). What luck! All of the paintings are MASSIVE and beautiful, and I am sooo grateful they allowed photos.
Right after the museum trip, I headed over to small group (20’s and 30’s group from the church) and, well, had a camera handy so I took a few pictures. Enjoy!

Was the music sung classically? And if "yes" do you have a program with the song titles?
Yes, and yes... but it's in Catalan. But, I might be able to translate it... maybe...
