Juli Garreta, from Kronos to Kairos , tells us about two ways of perceiving time: kronos is chronological time, that of the clocks that Garreta repaired and built; Kairós is qualitative time, which transcends the clock and which can be found in the instant of the artist's creation or the listener's aesthetic experience.

The centenary of the death of Juli Garreta (Sant Feliu de Guíxols, 1875-1925) is the starting point to claim him in all his compositional fullness. He was a self-taught composer and part-time watchmaker. Garreta - who made Stravinsky exclaim in admiration in 1924 at the Ateneo de Barcelona during an audition for sardanas - was a musician endowed with a very personal aesthetic, consolidated and extremely valued by the most relevant figures of nineteenth-century Catalonia such as Pau Casals, who premiered and commissioned several chamber and orchestral works from him. In this concert, almost unpublished and unknown vocal pieces by Garreta are presented, alternating with those of Matilde Salvador, Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann and Richard Strauss.
