El Palau de la Música has been built between 1905 and 1908. It is one of the most important concert halls in the world and one of the most representative of the Modernism. It has been named World Heritage in 1997 by the UNESCO. The Palau was remodelled and extended from 1982 to 1989, contributing to the the creation of a modern Auditions Room. In 1999 the extension works follows one another and in 2004 the restoration of the interiors of the Palau is carried out. Between 2005 and 2006 the facade will be restored, the remains produced by the pollution will be eliminated and the original materials will recuperated. This hall has had a great importance for the cultural and artistic life of Barcelona. The day of its inauguration, in February 1909, director Richard Strauss directed the philharmonic of Berlin. Since then, great figures of the music worked in it, such as Igor Stravinsky (in November of 1933 the Stravinsky Festival was celebrated there) or the saxophonist Bennie Carter, in the first session of jazz of the Palau, in 1936. They would be followed by, for example, Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington, in 1966.
