Renaissance and Baroque music concerts
Tarragona cathedral's extraordinary organ will once again be heard this autumn in a series of Renaissance and Baroque concerts concluding with a classical Christmas repertoire series, a fantastic opportunity to experience this majestic 16th century instrument, which at 20 metres high and 9 metres wide is one of the jewels of the cathedral's heritage.
Master organists Jonathan Carbó and Jordi Vergés will perform different repertoires throughout the series:

The sculptural elements of the organ’s housing were restored in 2012. The new Verschueren organ, which has three keyboards and was installed in 2013, is perfect for performing Renaissance and Baroque pieces. Its grandeur, stylistic features, range of different ornamentation, sculptural elements and age make it a unique piece among Spain's church organs.
