Programme
The Tast d’Orquestra at L’Auditori returns with a renewed format!
A concert series designed both for classical music lovers and for those who want to discover it in a new and surprising way. The OBC performs great masterpieces of music history with the guidance of the “Els homes clàssics” of Catalunya Música, Albert Galceran and Pedro Pardo, who unveil the secrets of the scores, composers and the orchestra. Each one-hour session features prestigious guest soloists and musicians from the orchestra. A close, flexible, and enriching experience for audiences of all ages. Check here for all the information and concerts of this season.
To bring this new proposal closer to a wider audience, the first event in the series will have a special launch price of €10. Additionally, anyone who purchases a ticket will be able to invite two people under the age of 16 free of charge.
The artistic revolution of Beethoven, who was considered a truly romantic composer of his time, which is characteristically confirmed in his symphonies -generous in extreme sounds that invoke effects never before felt- and also in his solo concertos. Charismatic pianist Josep Colom is to tackle a score that is representative of this semantic and moving richness, Beethoven’s Piano Concert No 4 in G Major. This wide-ranging score includes the most ferocious expression of creative power yet also the subtlety of one who converses with silence and seems to harmonise it. This wild subjectivity re-appears in the symphonic narrative of the adventures and misdeeds of Don Joan in the late 19th century; a century fascinated -right from the very start- by the transgression of the spirit of Mozart’s Don Giovanni. Orchestral brilliance and the evocative power of Richard Strauss are to be deployed by the OBC under the baton of Ludovic Morlot.
