Pere Vila School + Orfeó Català-Palau de la Música Foundation
The school specialises in vocal music, especially in choral singing, and will participate in the tandem with Orfeó Català-Palau de la Música Foundation de la Música.
The tandem agreement between Pere Vila School + Orfeó Català-Palau de la Música Foundation aims to place an emphasis on work and using your voice, with a particular focus on choral music - aspects that single out the centre’s educational project.
The collective nature of choral singing, and the active participation it involves, allows students to establish links between different subjects and their learning methods. In this sense, the programme aims to create a more interdisciplinary model that involves better organisation of learning schedules and expanding spaces for creativity.
Leading centre and institution
Pere Vila School, located in the district of Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera in Barcelona, is a nursery and primary school with a total of 391 students and a teaching faculty with 35 teachers.
The goal of the Orfeó Català-Palau de la Música Catalana Foundation is to promote music, paying special attention to choral singing, sharing cultural heritage, and working together to consolidate social cohesion. It is an open, dynamic and multifaceted organisation, that promotes musical performances and education through its activities, concerts, and choirs , in addition to sharing culture with a diverse audience, one that reflects Catalan society.
Excellence, participation, commitment to society and Catalan identity are the values behind the strategic positioning of the Orfeó Català-Palau de la Música Catalana Foundation, the same values that moved the Orfeó Català to build Palau de la Música in 1905 and to consolidate their position on the choral scene in the 20th century.
