about us

the barcelona classical music concert season

Ibercamera is the concert season of Barcelona's musical life. Since 1980, it has organized more than 1,000 concerts, mainly in L'Auditori, the Palau de la Música Catalana and the Gran Teatre del Liceu.

Throughout these decades Ibercamera has enjoyed the permanent support of its subscribers and amateurs who represent the great civil and philharmonical tradition from Barcelona.

Complicity, friendship and dialogue with our interpreters help us to achieve our main objective: to achieve excellence in the interpretation of the scheduled works.
