Robert Brufau (Mollerussa, 1980) speaks slowly, serenely, even coldly. Perhaps because he's holding back an understandable emotion. He has the endorsement of having done things well after seven years as director of L'Auditori de Barcelona, ​​​​the most important public musical institution in the country, both in terms of the volume of activity and the commitments to its heritage and support for new creation that it must fulfill by statute. On July 1, he leaves his position to assume the programming direction of the Konserthuset and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. He could have said goodbye with an informal ceremony, to take stock in a relaxed manner. He preferred to insert his farewell into the presentation of L'Auditori's 2025-2026 season. He did so before the press on the stage in Hall 2, surrounded by the team that has supported him in the preparation of the course, whose common thread is the concept of rebirth.
