Barcelona Symphony Band
José R. Pascual Vilaplana, conductor

Conrado Moya, marimba

The talent of youth combines with the two most famous works by Gershwin and with the music of one of our most popular composers: Albert Guinovart. We rediscover the fabulous Rhapsody in Blue in an incredible version by the Austrian trumpet soloist Selina Ott and also premier a concerto for marimba – inspired by works of Renaissance art, Romanticism and naïve art – in the hands of Conrado Moya from Alicante.

Program

The concert is rounded off with a suite from the Gaudí musical that Guinovart premiered in Barcelona in 2002 and with the unforgettable melodies of An American in Paris, the work of Gershwin that was also turned into a musical in the capable hands, feet and the other bodily parts of the dancer Gene Kelly. It received an Oscar for Best Film in 1951: and no-one was in any doubt that half of the award was indebted to the soundtrack.
