Programme
In 1948 Pepita Sellés founded the Barcelona Orquestra de Cambra d’Acordions de Barcelona (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. In 2023 the OCAB celebrates its 75th anniversary, which culminates with this great concert in which former members of the orchestra will also participate.
