NATIONAL YOUTH CHOIR OF CATALONIA

The National Youth Choir of Catalonia (CJNC) makes its debut at L’Auditori as part of the ‎Festival Emergents Barcelona with a programme dedicated to Catalan and international ‎choral music of the 20th and 21st centuries. The CJNC is a spin-off from its big sister, the ‎National Youth Orchestra of Catalonia, and is formed of around thirty of the best young vocal ‎talents born or studying in Catalonia. The work carried out by the young singers during the ‎various events combines the pedagogical aspect, with sessions with first-rate teachers, and ‎the artistic. ‎
The most visible result of these events are the concerts the young singers have performed ‎under the baton of prestigious conductors such as Josep Vila i Casañas, Xavier Puig, Xavier ‎Pastrana, Jordi Casas, Vytautas Miškinis and Erik van Nevel and the recording of their first ‎album, in 2018. In their concert at L’Auditori, the National Youth Choir of Catalonia will sing ‎under the baton of two of the most prestigious conductors on the European scene: the ‎Catalan Mireia Barrera, who was conductor of Cor Madrigal until 2019, and Catherine ‎Simonpietri from Luxembourg, conductor of the professional vocal ensemble Sequenza 9.3, ‎both experts in the concert repertoire.
