L'Auditori

Banda Municipal de Barcelona
Season 2010/2011

The Banda Municipal de Barcelona will be celebrating the 125th anniversary of its creation during this, the fourth season as resident group at the Auditori. An institution with a long and distinguished tradition in Catalonia, it was one of the first established musical institutions here. To celebrate this milestone, we are offering a season of concerts for which we have commissioned new original compositions for bands from 10 prestigious Catalan composers which will, without a shadow of a doubt, help enrich our musical heritage.

Internationally acclaimed conductors and soloists will be performing a series of programmes offering a harmonised mix of original music and extraordinary orchestral pieces scored for bands, following in the footsteps of the tradition initiated by the maestro Joan Lamote de Grignon.

We are offering this interesting 2010-2011 season which we hope you will enjoy as fully as we do and that we can continue to increase our loyal and enthusiastic audience which we have carefully nurtured over the last few years.
