The Cicle de Música a la Universitat kicks off to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the UB's Historical Building

There will be concerts throughout the academic year, with the participation, among others, of the ESMUC, the Victoria de los Ángeles Foundation and the Conservatori del Liceu.

The University of Barcelona (UB) is not only synonymous with higher education and research, but also with music. The cycle of concerts organised every academic year is now in its 35th year, with the participation of the UB's different musical groups, such as the Orquestra de la Universitat de Barcelona, the Cor UB and the Schola Cantorum Universitaria Barcinonensis, as well as the Escolania del Lluc, the Coral Jove del Conservatori de Sant Cugat and the Conservatori del Liceu, among others. 

The programme will begin on 20 October with a concert to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the first academic year in the UB's Historical Building. The performance will be exclusive to the university community and will be given by the Orquestra de la Universitat de Barcelona in collaboration with various choral groups from the UB. The next event will be on 3 November, featuring the Cor de la Facultat de Filologia de la UB. In December, there will be three concerts to celebrate Christmas: on the 14th, 15th and 16th, with the Orquestra de la Universitat de Barcelona, the Cor UB and the Schola Cantorum Universitaria Barcinonensis.

In 2023, on 19 January, there will be a concert with students from the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya (ESMUC) and, on 2 February, musicians from the Victoria de los Ángeles Foundation will take the stage. A week later, the UB will receive a visit from Ses Illes by the Escolania del Lluc, and on 16 February, it will be the turn of the Cor Universitat de Barcelona. Other concerts in the series will be offered by the Coral Jove del Conservatori de Sant Cugat on 23 February, the Conservatori Municipal de Música de Barcelona on 23 March, the Conservatori del Liceu on 13 April, and the Pastoral Universitaria on 27 April.
