Around a hundred young classical musicians from different countries will take part in the 30th edition of the Mirabent i Magrans Singing and Chamber Music Competition, which will be held on 14 and 15 November at Casino Prado Suburense. The event will offer 15 hours of music, spread across morning and afternoon sessions. The commemorative edition features a poster designed by renowned painter Florència Coll Mirabent, granddaughter of Josep Mirabent i Magrans.
On Saturday 14 November, from 10 am to 2 pm and from 4 pm to 9 pm, the 24 chamber music ensembles will perform in 15-minute sessions. The participants include one quintet, seven quartets, seven trios and nine duos, all competing for various prizes. Their performances will feature some of the best-known and most varied works in the chamber music repertoire. On Sunday 15 November, from 3 pm to 9 pm, the singing category will take centre stage, with 24 young voices presenting a wide-ranging programme of opera, lied and other vocal genres.
Participants will compete for €12,000 in prize money, as well as several concert opportunities designed to help advance their professional careers. One of the highlights is the ‘Clàssica al Racó de la Calma’ concert series, jointly organised by the Department of Culture and Associació Concertante, with the support of the Sitges Museums. The series will be part of Sitgestiu 2027, with concerts scheduled for Wednesdays 7, 14, 21 and 28 July 2027.
Founded in 1993 by the family of Josep Mirabent i Magrans, the driving force behind Joventuts Musicals de Sitges, the competition has consolidated its position year after year as an important platform for young classical musicians and one of the most prestigious competitions in Catalonia.
The competition auditions will take place in concert format, and admission will be free.
