El Born Events - March 2027

Fet al Born

📅 Saturday 27 – Sunday 28 March 2027, 11am–8pm (the last weekend of March)

📍 Location: Passeig del Born

The spring edition: the workshops' ceramics out on the Passeig, and free demonstrations through the afternoon.

Note: Born Comerç runs Fet al Born on the last weekend of every month — that is the organiser's rule and it is the programme: no annual list of dates is published. 27–28 March is the last weekend of March 2027. The 11am–8pm hours are the 2026 editions'; the organiser prints none.

Bach, St Matthew Passion — Simon Rattle, Freiburger Barockorchester, Zürcher Sing-Akademie

📅 Thursday 18 March 2027, 7pm

📍 Location: Palau de la Música Catalana, Concert Hall

Bach's Passion was first heard in Leipzig on Good Friday 1727; three hundred years later the Palau gives it three times this season, and Rattle's is the first of them.

Note: The other two are Václav Luks on 20 March and Teodor Currentzis on 3 April.
