We are presenting the exhibitionMaria Canals, a contest with soul
The Maria Canals International Piano Competition and TMB celebrate together, after a long collaboration, three anniversaries arriving hand in hand in 2025: the hundredth anniversary of the Barcelona metro, the fifteenth anniversary of Espai Mercè Sala, and the 70th anniversary of the musical contest.
To celebrate, Espai Mercè Sala hosts a commemorative exhibition of the Maria Canals competition, which can be seen until June 21.
This exhibition reviews all the activities and milestones achieved over time as a promoter of professional performers, as well as its educational and social work, with the aim of highlighting the vitality of the project in the present.
Visit this photographic retrospective, which includes quotes and brief audiovisuals that pay tribute to the people who have been part of the competition's history, founded in 1954 by pianist and pedagogue Maria Canals.
Discover more on the exhibition's webpage.
Come to the exhibit... and play the piano!
This special evening will be enlivened with the piano music that the Maria Canals association has donated to TMB, and which is located in front of Espai Mercè Sala.
During the event, the piano will feature spontaneous performers and associations of friends and music lovers such as Orpheus (classical music), AMUC (Metro and Street Musicians), and Taller de Músics, creating an open jam session for anyone who wants to join.
We look forward to seeing you there!
