We are honoured to have the resident organist of La Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Barcelona playing in our own Cathedral, The Roman-Catholic Dome of Timișoara.
Juan de la Rubia, nominated for a Grammy alongside Philippe Jaroussky and Freiburger Barockorchester for their CD „Sacred Cantatas” in 2018, will be performing in Romania for the first time, with a special concert on the 26th of October, starting at 7.30 pm.
His fascinating repertoire includes works by Antonio Soler, Richard Wagner and Philip Glass.
