Ars Musicae de Barcelona was a Catalan ensemble for the performance of medieval music active between 1935 and 1979.
The directors were:
- Josep María Lamaña (1935–1957); industrial engineer and amateur musician.[1]
- Enric Gispert (1957–1972); a choral conductor.
- Romà Escalas Llimona (1972–1979); director of the Museu de la Música de Barcelonafrom 1981 to 2011.
Victoria de Los Angeles had a long association with the group, and her earliest surviving recording (from 1942) is with Lamaña.[2] Jordi Savall and Montserrat Figueras both performed early in their careers with Ars Musicae of Barcelona while it was directed by Gispert.
