The Barcelona Festival of Song is a vocal summer program for classical singers, collaborative pianists, and voice teachers of all ages. Over ten days in the heart of Barcelona, participants study and perform art song repertoire in Spanish, Catalan, and Portuguese, guided by leading experts and performers. More than just a course, BFOS is a space for artistic growth, cultural connection, and personal transformation. With individual attention, masterclasses, diction training, and public concerts, the program helps each participant develop a unique repertoire and artistic identity that resonates with today’s diverse and global audiences.
The academic program offers over 50 hours of intensive training, including masterclasses, diction coaching, and lectures on the history and interpretation of Latin American and Iberian art song. Participants work closely with expert faculty to develop stylistic and linguistic fluency in Spanish, Catalan, and Portuguese, while building a personalized repertoire that supports their artistic growth and career goals.
The extracurricular program includes free access to all BFOS concerts, offering participants the chance to experience world-class performances up close. It also features cultural outings and field trips around Barcelona, providing rich opportunities to connect with the city's vibrant artistic and historical heritage.
