From the weekly magazine "Iris" (Barcelona. 1899) October 14, 1899 n.º 23 page 7.
"The artists who make up this important cultural centre, eager to celebrate the inauguration of their new and beautiful premises, gathered for a fraternal banquet last Saturday night, in the number of about one hundred and fifty. During the event there reigned the fraternal expansion that was to be expected among people of such a well-established reputation, as artists and as individuals, and the very happy idea of not having to toast was had. But, if there were no discussions, on the other hand there were thousands of jokes, witticisms, phrases and thoughts, and the eminent guitar concert player Mr. Llovet provided a moment of true artistic enjoyment to the attendees, who applauded him wildly."
