On the thirteenth of January begins the fourth edition of Música Z, the programme of commented auditions that brings the talent of the students of Barcelona’s higher music schools to the whole city, and which on the twenty-eighth of March gives the last concert of 2025.

The cycle gives artists the opportunity to perform live in front of an audience, a fundamental part of the learning process and the acquisition of experience. It is also a unique opportunity for the public to meet future talents, as well as to discover a great diversity of musical styles and languages. Moreover, the fact that the sessions are commented on by the performers creates a space for reflection and knowledge that enriches the concert.

The Música Z circuit, which was born in 2022, is promoted through an initiative of the Institut de Cultura de Barcelona, the collaboration of the Escoles Superiors de Música de la ciutat and the Xarxa de Centres Cívics de Barcelona.

As in the previous edition, around fifty concerts will be held at CC Can Verdaguer (Nou Barris District), CC Casa Orlandai (Sarrià – Sant Gervasi District), CC El Carmel (Horta – Guinardó District), CC El Sortidor (Sants – Montjuïc District), CC Josep Maria Trias i Peitx (Les Corts District), CC Navas (Sant Andreu District), CC Pere Pruna (Districte de Sarrià – Sant Gervasi), CC Sagrada Família (Districte de l’Eixample), CC Torre Llobeta (Districte de Nou Barris), CC Trinitat Vella (Districte de Sant Andreu), CC Vallvidrera – Vázquez Montalbán (Districte de Sarrià – Sant Gervasi) i CC Vil-la Florida (Districte de Sarrià – Sant Gervasi).

Four higher music schools and sixteen ensembles

For the second year running, Música Z includes seven ensembles from Conservatori Superior de Música Liceu, Taller de músics Escola Superior d’Estudis Musicals, Centre Superior de Música Jam Session and Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya (ESMUC), offering an extensive programme with a variety of musical styles and languages.
