What to see at Palau de la Música
Exterior building and pool
The elongated glass dome resembles a large glass waterfall that seems to pour into the pool designed by Ricardo Bofill in front of the façade. Tropical palm trees flank the entrance and create an exotic frame in the reflection on the water.
Orange tree lobby
Before heading into the concert, enjoy a coffee with a view in the spacious glass lobbies. In spring, the orange trees planted inside fill the air with the sweet scent of orange blossom.
Concert programme
Top-tier pianists and string quartets, national and international philharmonic orchestras and musical societies, and even symphonic music with audiovisual projections. The Palau de la Música programme offers a wide variety of musical experiences for all tastes.
