They are, perhaps, one of the most beautiful concerts of the summer. And perhaps, also, one of the least massive. However, it has been nineteen years since that the University of Barcelona has programmed free concert series “Vespres d’Estiu” in the Ferran Soldevila gardens of the Historic Building of the University, where intimate proposals that give meaning to summer nights in Barcelona are offered.
From Tuesday, July 9 until July 18, its stage will host four concerts of emerging local groups from Barcelona. For the first time, all concerts will be preceded by a performance by the winners of the Sona UB, a demo contest organized by the University to discover musical talent within the center. 500 votes decided that the guest artists would be Erxart Casas, Bons Nois, LaiaLaia and Elo.
It will start the pop group Reïna from Manacor, who will present the songs from their second album ‘Retirada a temps’. For its part, Minibús Intergaláctico will present its first album ‘Meditaciones desde los espejismos mercúricos’. The second week of the Vísperas de Verano will bring the artist Ariox, who will present his first solo album ‘Ariox is super sad’, and Alba Morena, with a proposal of fusion of styles with ‘Yo te quiero pero’.
The opening of the venue on concert days is at 6 pm, and the performances will begin at 8 pm with the winners of the Sona UB, which will give way to the guest artists at 9 pm. Meanwhile, there will be bar service and a food truck installed in the same garden.
Concert Dates:
