Aurora Bertrana (Girona, 1892 – Berga, 1974) was a writer, musician and journalist, markedly feminist and voracious adventurer. Among his multiple concerns and facets, music occupied a very important part of his life; settled in Switzerland during the twenties of the last century, she was part of the Glasser-Bovard-Bertrana trio, one of the first female jazz trios in Europe, which was a way of claiming the role of women in areas until then reserved for men and an experience that would mark her life and artistic career. With the trio Raspall-Roma-Izquierdo we will relive those years with a program with works by Raspall herself and female composers from the era in which Bertrana lived.

Marès and Bertrana had a brief correspondence. Vertigo of Horizontes , written by Bertrana in 1952, is preserved in the heritage library of Marès and contains a dedication by the author dedicated to Marès which exudes a certain humorous and complicit tone that is also reflected in the correspondence.
