1.- L’Auditori:Educa
The L’Auditori Educational Service began in the year 2000 and, since then, has promoted
spaces for exchange, revitalisation and renewal in music education in Catalonia. We have
experienced growth in the demand for our activities, which has led to the current
different areas of activity: family concerts, school concerts, training for parents and
teachers, participatory concerts, activities at the Museum of Music, etc.
Every year around 70 musical training sessions are held for 10,000 people and nearly
80 participatory activities aimed at schoolchildren between 1 and 18 years old, music
schools,
children’s
choirs,
music
professionals,
teaching
professionals,
families,
disadvantaged groups and the general public. Every season, 818 activities are scheduled
with 198,300 people attending, including school, family and participatory concerts at
L’Auditori and elsewhere.
We have created our own style when it comes to putting on concerts: our aim is for the
audience to be able to learn without being taught and we think it should be difficult to
stop listening. This is done using communication between the musicians and the
audience, carefully working on the lighting and the musicians’ movements, tonal variety and
surprising use of sound, the particular lengths of each work and a varied repertoire.
As a result of all this experience we have already
received recognition from state and European
institutions
acknowledging
our
good
work.
L’Auditori is a member of the international network
ECHO (European Concert Hall Organisation),
where the Educational Service is a benchmark
among the organisation’s member auditoriums. It
is also a founding member of both ROCE
(Educational Concert Organiser Network) and
L’ACORD, bodies it has chaired since their
creation.
This prestige guarantees the professionalism of
the Education Service, supported by the activities
it carries out all over the world: articles,
conferences,
presentations,
debates
and
advice on concerts.
