LA FLAMA award
La Flama, by Joventuts Musicals de Catalunya and the Quartet Academy.
La Flama, by the Vic Quartet Academy and Joventuts Musicals de Catalunya, is intended to spur the first blaze of the new Catalan chamber ensembles.
With the endorsement of Gerard Claret, Abel Tomàs (member of Quartet Casals) and the Federació de Joventuts Musicals de Catalunya, every year the most promising ensemble in every category among those taking part in the Quartet Academy will be chosen. The organization reserves the right to declare the award void.
The award consists of a first presentation concert at the Petit Palau of Palau de la Música Catalana and the inclusion in the net of Joventuts Musicals de Catalunya, which will allow the awarded ensembles to tour the country.
