ASSOCIATION

PRESENTATION


The Joan Manén Association is a non-profit entity dedicated to the recovery and promotion of Catalan musical heritage.

The JMA is an institution of reference in its field, conducting systematic research, categorisation and promotion of works by Catalan authors - past and present – both at the national and international level.

The JMA believes in developing a common cultural project for Catalan society, based on the research and dissemination of our national music legacy. The sum of donations, in the form of membership quotas, helps raising collective awareness regarding the value of our musical heritage, too often ignored or even hidden from us.

The figure of the composer and violinist Joan Manén - one of the most significant Catalan musicians of the twentieth century, fallen almost into oblivion after his passing – is the symbol and driving force for this project of promoting Catalan composers of great quality, composers that deserve to be recognised, performed and consolidated in concert programs here and around the world.
