La Pedrera (Casa Milà) in Barcelona is linked to a poetic-musical recital at the Gran Teatre del Liceu on 2 December 2026. The programme brings together Ensemble O Vos Omnes, Kebyart and poet Manuel Forcano around the Anselm Kiefer exhibition presented at the building.
La Pedrera links Kiefer exhibition to December recital
The recital is scheduled for 2 December 2026 at the Gran Teatre del Liceu. The official programme describes it as a concert created expressly for the Kiefer exhibition at La Pedrera, connecting early music, saxophone performance and poetry.
Ensemble O Vos Omnes supplies the vocal element, while Kebyart performs as a saxophone quartet. Forcano presents texts related to the literary, historical and symbolic ideas found in Kiefer’s work. The programme therefore extends the exhibition beyond its gallery setting and gives the Barcelona building a role as the subject of a wider cultural event.
The date, performers and connection with the exhibition are listed by the La Pedrera activity programme. The Gran Teatre del Liceu separately identifies the event as the La Pedrera Concert and lists the same performers and date.
Gaudi’s 1906-1912 building gives the programme its setting
La Pedrera was designed by Antoni Gaudí and built between 1906 and 1912. Commissioned by Pere Milà and Roser Segimon, it was conceived as a residential building on Passeig de Gràcia, where its undulating stone facade and flexible internal structure challenged conventional apartment design.
The building contains two interior courtyards, an attic supported by brick arches and a rooftop shaped by ventilation towers and sculptural chimneys. Those elements are part of the architectural language that visitors associate with the site, while the Kiefer exhibition uses the main floor as a setting for contemporary art.
The relationship between the 2 December recital and the building is therefore more specific than a general Barcelona concert listing. The music and poetry were created for an exhibition held at La Pedrera, while the recital transfers that dialogue to the nearby Gran Teatre del Liceu.
The foundation’s official history of the building records its construction period, later restoration and cultural use.
World Heritage status frames La Pedrera’s cultural role
UNESCO added La Pedrera, Park Güell and Palau Güell to the World Heritage list on 2 November 1984. The recognition followed earlier protection in Barcelona and Spain, and reflected the architectural importance of Gaudí’s work.
La Pedrera opened as a cultural centre in June 1996 after restoration. The Catalunya La Pedrera Foundation now manages the building, which combines residential use with exhibitions, conferences and public activities.
That history explains why a contemporary recital can be connected to the site without taking place inside its courtyards or rooms. The building functions not only as preserved architecture but also as a continuing cultural institution, with the Kiefer programme providing the direct link to the 2 December event.
