40 years generating opportunities through music
Call open for the XLII Reina Sofia Prize in Music Composition
Music and nature come together at the Live Room of the Liceu Conservatory
«We believe that art is not just a goal, but also a way to move forward together. In addition to filling concert halls, we would like to fill people’s lives».
We work so that music serves as a basis for social integration. We would like to remove music from the display cabinets and concert halls, where access is limited to only a few people. We would like music to be useful and within everybody’s reach.
Given our commitment to excellence, we would like to become a platform that ensures that no young talent is wasted. We transform lives and neighborhoods through music taught in schools of disadvantaged areas.
Our projects understand music as a transformative tool, and we will continue to work to make it available to everyone.

The Prize was born out of the will to recognize the works of contemporary composers and to encourage the composition of new pieces. The first winner of the Reina Sofia Prize in Music Composition was the historically acclaimed Joan Guinjoan.
1982
The Ferrer-Salat Music Foundation was created in 1982 by Carles Ferrer Salat to promote the Reina Sofia Prize in Music Composition, a platform to ensure that our composer’s works are performed, recognized, and listened to.
