Concepción Badía de Agustí (14 November 1897 2 May 1975) (known by her stage name as Conchita Badía) was a Spanish soprano and pianist. Admired for her spontaneity, expressiveness, and clear diction, she was considered one the greatest interpreters of 20th century Spanish and Latin American art song. She premiered many works in that genre, including those by Enrique Granados, Manuel de Falla, Frederic Mompou, Alberto Ginastera, and Enric Morera, several of which had been specially written for her voice. Conchita Badía was born Concepció Badia i Millás in Barcelona on 14 November 1897 and studied with Enrique Granados, Manuel de Falla and Pablo Casals. She had initially enrolled in the Granados Academy as a piano student, but the composer 'discovered' her voice during a solfège examination.
