Artist Info: Bernat Bertran

Bernat Bertran (1774 - 1815) was born in Barcelona and received his musical education at the Cathedral Church, first as a young singer and later as a composer under the guidance of Francesc Queralt and, perhaps, the organist/composer, Carles Baguer. From 1796-1815 he was employed as a Beneficiary at the cathedral in Girona. He must have known other well-known musicians of the time such as Antoni Guiu or the two brothers, Josep and Carles Quilmetas. [read more...]
