Orfeo Catala
The Catalan Orpheon, aka the Palau de la Musica Catalana, one of Barcelona’s 8 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, celebrated today el Dia de la Musica, World Music Day, by opening it’s doors for free. The Palau was inaugurated in 1908, and is a wonderful example of Catalan Modernist style. If you want to know more about it, please go here.
I don’t know if the World Music Day is celebrated worldwide… It started in France in 1982, when Jack Lang, Minister of Culture, decided to celebrate summer by a big party. Basically, everybody started making music in the street, free concerts everywhere… It is now celebrated in many countries, even in Bahrain, so I heard today. Is it celebrated in your country?
Here is what Wiki has to say about it.

That's news to me. So it probably not celebrated in Sweden although it should be. And it sure is a fantastic photo.

That dome is glorious!
Yes, Manila also celebrates Fête de la Musique, but my husband and I weren't able to go to any of the performances.
And belated happy birthday! I hope you had a wonderful time yesterday.
