In this first edition, L’Auditori: Lighthouse Music starts with a perfect balance between contemporary music legends from the sixties and seventies, as Dr. John (July 12) or Bobby Hutcherson (July 14), and new figures of international fame, as The Bad Plus (July 13) and Béla Fleck (19 July, in double concert with Richard Bona). The other double proposal to close the season, on July 21, is Arturo Sandoval Sextet and Silvia Perez Cruz & Javier Colina Trio featuring Perico Sambeat.
