Programme

In 1948 Pepita Sellés founded the Barcelona Accordion Chamber Orchestra (OCAB) with the main aim of ennobling the accordion. Since then, his fidelity of interpretation has provided him with notable successes, receiving the constant enthusiasm of the public and placing himself at the head of the orchestras of this genre. This 2024 we dedicate the concert to the memory of our founder Pepita Sellés, on the 50th anniversary of her death.
