He wants to free it from commercial interests and expand it. The foundation he presides over has multiple projects related, above all, to music: for more than twenty years it has awarded the Reina Sofía prizes for musical creation; it collaborates with the Barcelona Jazz Festival, with a program of <em>masterclasses</em> by the great names of international jazz at the Liceu Conservatory; it awards the Ferrer-Salat Scholarships to young musicians, and with the Liceu and the Foundation of Parochial Schools of the Archdiocese of Barcelona, it has a music education program in Primary for social integration in disadvantaged environments. The musical projects of his foundation continue to grow. Recently, with the psychiatry and mental health department of Vall d'Hebron, he has promoted the Hip Hop Project In, which tries to help refugees who arrive in Catalonia and have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder with music.</p>]]></description>
