EASTER CONCERT
On 2 April, the Basilica hosted its Easter Concert.
The Sagrada Família invited citizens to attend. A total of 800 winners were drawn from the entries received between 17 March at 10:00 am and 24 March at 10:00 am to enjoy this yearly event.
This time, Orquestra Simfònica del Vallès, with over 35 musicians, and Cor de Cambra de Granollers performed Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Requiem, the last piece he composed, in 1791.
The concert was part of the special Easter programming organised by the Sagrada Família.
