Yesterday, around 90,000 people from across Europe enjoyed the first concert on Facebook ‎of the Music of the Day from Europe’s Concert Halls project, ‎that has been launched by ECHO, an association comprising the most ‎prestigious concert halls on our continent, and in which L’Auditori is taking ‎part.‎

Yesterday’s concert, with Mariss Jansons and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra at Het ‎Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, marked the start of several broadcasts that will be ‎offered every day at 8 pm from one of the ECHO members’ concert halls and which ‎can viewed simultaneously each day on the Facebook pages of the participating institutions. ‎

‎Tomorrow, Wednesday 25 March at 8 pm, it is L’Auditori’s turn, and it will ‎present the concert that the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra performed at the ‎Sagrada Família in Barcelona on 20 September 2015 and which marked the début of ‎Kazushi Ono as the orchestra’s principal conductor. ‎
