Program
Founded by Pepita Sellés in 1948, the Barcelona Accordion Chamber Orchestra (OCAB) was one of the first orchestras for chromatic button accordions in Spain. Their consistently excellent performances have brought them notable successes. Considered to be an outstanding and prestigious ensemble, the OCAB is constantly acclaimed by audiences, making it one of the leading orchestras in this genre.
We will be dedicating this Christmas concert to Pepita Perelló i Sellés, who died on 22 May 2016. Pepita Perelló was a member of the OCAB almost from its foundation in 1948 and was its conductor from 1975 to 2014, leaving a legacy of over 300 arrangements for accordion orchestra.
