This year, the Fair is dedicated to two pioneering women in the field of music: Conxita Badia i Mill\u00e0s (Barcelona, 1897\u20131975), one of the most renowned sopranos of the 20th century, marking the 50th anniversary of her death, and Maria Llu\u00efsa Ponsa i Bassas (Barcelona, 1875\u20131919), composer, pianist and writer, commemorating the 150th anniversary of her birth.<\/p>\n
Throughout the weekend, there will be various activities related to them, as well as to other aspects of modernisme. Torre Bellesguard will be present with its own stand, offering trencad\u00eds workshops and 50% discounts on admission tickets.<\/p>\n
Bellesguard stand location<\/strong>: Bruc Street, between Proven\u00e7a and Mallorca.<\/p>\n At the Bellesguard stand, we will offer trencad\u00eds workshops, an artistic activity inspired by Gaud\u00ed\u2019s signature technique. The workshop begins with a short introduction to trencad\u00eds, followed by a hands-on session where each participant decorates the top of a box using ceramic fragments, cut with tile nippers. The activity encourages full creative freedom and is suitable for ages 9 and up.<\/p>\n \u2013 Capacity per session: 10\u201312 people Trencad\u00eds Workshop Schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2013 Friday and Saturday: 11:30 \/ 12:30 \/ 17:00 \/ 18:00 We will also offer mosaic workshops, a shorter activity especially designed for younger children. After a brief introduction to the technique, each participant will create their own colourful fridge magnet.<\/p>\n \u2013 Duration: 15\u201320 minutes The 2025 Modernista Fair aims to highlight the role of women in music during the modernista period. Until then, women were mostly limited to playing instruments, usually the piano, in private settings. From that point on, however, more and more women began to take centre stage in both national and international music scenes.<\/p>\n Conxita Badia, a favourite student and performer of Enric Granados, Pau Casals and Manuel de Falla, became a muse for the great poets and composers of her time, who dedicated works to her and entrusted her with their premieres.
