Featuring former OCAB musicians

In 1948 Pepita Sellés founded the Barcelona Accordion Chamber Orchestra (OCAB) with a ‎view to raising the profile of the accordion. Since it began, it has produced consistently ‎excellent performances and enjoyed notable success. It has received an enthusiastic public ‎reaction and is a leading orchestra in this genre. In 2018 the OCAB is celebrating its 70th ‎anniversary, which culminates in this spectacular concert featuring former orchestra ‎members.‎
