Easter workshop
To share the meaning of Easter with the little ones in a fun way, we will be hosting Easter family workshops from 5 to 21 April. The workshop includes a fun tour of the Temple with a discovery game called “Search for the lost sounds” that will draw the kids’ attention to the sounds of the Basilica, imagining how certain scenes or themes would sound, such as the Crèche scenes, the organ music in the naves and the sounds of nature associated with the forest of columns. On the Passion façade, which tells the story of the Passion and death of Jesus, they will learn about the lost tradition of making noise to ward off evil. To finish off the session, they will decorate a traditional ratchet to take home as a souvenir.

Easter Concert featuring Orfeón Pamplonés
The Sagrada Família held its Easter Concert featuring Orfeón Pamplonés, one of the oldest symphonic choirs in Europe. Conducted by Igor Ijurra and accompanied by Óscar Candendo on the organ, the group led the audience on a musical journey through pieces that evoke the most meaningful moments of this liturgical season. They performed works by Basque/Navarrese composers with a long religious history and others by universal figures from Catalan music, such as Frederic Mompou and Pau Casals. A musical conversation also emerged with benchmark European composers such as Rheinberger, Brahms and Mahler, creating a bridge between different styles and eras.
