The Port Olímpic is hosting a new concert in the ‘KBr Live’ series on Sunday, 26 January. The cultural programme is the result of the partnership between Port Olímpic, Fundació MAPFRE and the Barcelona Institute of Culture (ICUB) to incorporate photography and performing arts into the programme of family events at the Port.
The concert is at the Moll de Mestral wharf at 12.30 pm and is being offered by the Fundació Conservatori Liceu. The concert will feature pieces inspired by French jazz from the mid-20th century, tying in with the focus of the exhibition Henri Cartier-Bresson. Watch! Watch! Watch!, which is on display until 26 January 2025 at the KBr Fundació MAPFRE photography centre.
As part of this collaboration with Fundació Conservatori Liceu, the Jazz and Modern Music department of the musical institution is bringing some of its most outstanding students to perform a repertoire inspired by French jazz from the mid-20th century, with special attention to Jazz Manouche, a genuinely French style associated with exceptional musicians such as Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli and Michel Legrand.
The ‘KBr Live’ programme is set to run throughout the year, offering a series of music and dance activities connected to events at the KBr photography centre and the Fundació MAPFRE Collections, following a recent agreement between Fundació MAPFRE, Port Olímpic and the ICUB to offer photography exhibitions, music, dance and photography-themed family activities at the Port Olímpic.
