Once again, the Petit Palau becomes a radio studio, where we will recreate three stories of music and commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of radio in our country. We will meet and make protagonists of three characters from the history of music, Ana María de la Piedad, Clara Schumann and Consuelo Velázquez and at the same time remember the first live broadcast and the beginnings of radio.

Written by the musicologist and journalist Victòria Palma and directed by Clara del Ruste, the proposal will have the participation of beloved voices from the world of communication: Agnès Marquès, Enric Calpena, Marta Vives, Martín Llade, Elisenda Roca, and with the collaboration of Raquel Sans.

Written from the experiences and reflections of the protagonists, and in the company of a character linked to their lives, the dramatized text will show different perspectives of their trajectories and life experiences. At the same time, we will relive November 14, 1924, the day when the first live radio transmission took place throughout Spain. The first voice that was heard was that of the announcer Maria Sabater. We will recall that date, and the beginnings and the impact that the new invention had.

The event is part of L’Hivernacle, a cycle that complements the Palau’s musical season with outreach, workshops, performative actions, recitals, experimentation and play, inside and outside the modernist venue. Within the cycle, the activity is part of the Hybrids, activities that rethink issues related to musical performance, creativity and heritage.
