Program

In the 1960s, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, John Lennon and Paul McCartney were all as popular as the Queen of England. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones revolutionised social norms, pioneering a hitherto unseen process of cultural and artistic change. At this concert, the Barcelona Symphony Band offers a selection of some of the best-known hits by the two British groups; songs which also made an impact on a whole generation of young people in Catalonia. Freddy Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, and Michael Jackson, the dancing king of pop, headed the music charts in the 70s and 80s. The band Coldplay, for its part, marked a turning point in alternative rock in the late 20th century. It is always a pleasure to hear their international hits, songs that we have all heard more than once. The programme will also feature Hallelujah, a gem and modern classic by the much missed Quebec poet and singer-songwriter, Leonard Cohen.
