Event Description

Kaimerata Concerts have been bringing exquisite classical music by world class musicians since 2011 in an innovative, friendly, and down-to-earth fashion. Internationally acclaimed soloist and chamber musician Kai Gleusteen, director and host of Kaimerata Concerts, facilitates this mission with spontaneous and well-informed anecdotes, eliminating the traditional distance between performers on stage and the audience.

Since 2000, Kai has been based in Barcelona, dividing his time between leading the Gran Teatre del Liceu Symphony Orchestra, teaching in various post-secondary institutions, and organizing various musical activities. He created the concept of Kaimerata Concerts in response to a personal need to share his passion for chamber music with others.

Each season offers a series of performances of masterpieces of a specific composer or era, allowing the audience to gently acquaint themselves and deepen their understanding of the composer and his entourage.

This year's theme is The Meeting of Beethoven and Schubert.
