History:
Josep Bartomeu i Granell (1888-1980), industrial i mecenes, va fer construir la Casa Bartomeu, d’estil noucentista, al barri de Pedralbes. En el jardí de la finca, i sota el mecenatge del mateix Bartomeu, es van desenvolupar, especialment entre els anys 1948 i 1958, diversos cicles de concerts que abastaven des de la música de cambra, a cant coral, petites orquestres i, fins i tot, òpera. Va incloure una innovadora programació d’obres, com ara L'Orfeo de Claudio Monteverdi, els Gurrelieder d'Arnold Schoenberg o obres d’autors catalans com l'òpera La Merope de Domènec Terradellas, el Concert per a piano i orquestra de cordes de Robert Gerhard o el Quartet Pedralbes de Manuel Blancafort. Des de fa alguns anys, ja en el segle XXI, aquest espai torna a oferir alguns recitals de joves intèrprets.
Composer, industrial engineer and cellist
After studying violoncello, Homs started to study composition as well as engineering. During the 1920s, he attended Sessions Amicals de Música (1926-1936). Between 1931 and 1936, he became the only student of Gerhard and discovered Schöenberg's serialism. After the wars, he played an important role in dissemination of Catalan music, organizing concert cycles at the Jardins dels Tarongers (1948-1958). He was the first president of the Catalan Association of Composers (1974) and conducted musical activities in various spaces. From 1954 onwards, his composition followed serialism with regards to pitch, rhythm, timbre and structure. His compositions have been performed in several countries and are characterized by the of lean instrumental means focusing on solo and chamber ensembles.
