Concert by I Fagiolini at the Torrent de Pareis

This coming Sunday, July 14, as from 5.30 p.m. there will be the annual Concert del Torrent de Pareis (Escorca), one of the most singular musical events of the Mallorcan summer. In an exceptional setting, those attending will be able to listen this year to the exceptional voices of the English group I Fagiolini, who will interpret works by J.S Bach, some jazz music, popular songs from France, Irland, Finland and Mallorca, gospel and South African songs.

The open-air concerts at the Torrent de Pareis started in 1964 through the initiative of the artist, Josep Coll Bardolet (Campdevànol, 1912), living in Valldemossa since 1940. First the performances were almost intimate. Later, the Sa Nostra took over the organisation of the concert, and year after year, the event acquired strength. At present the concert gathers together thousands of people, attracted by the marvellous combination of the beauty of the scenery and harmony of the music.

You can reach the Torrent de Pareis by car following the road from Escorca to sa Calobra. You can also reach the beach by boat from the Port de Sóller. Another option for the most adventurers is to go walking, following the course of the Torrent de Pareis, excursion that must be done early in the morning and preferably guided by somebody who knows the route. On this page about Hiking on Mallorca there is information in Catalan about the excursion, and here you can find information in English.
