Program
Nothing is more moving than the music that is the soundtrack to our lives. Memory is a mechanism intrinsically linked to musical experiences and their strong emotional influence. A sardana heard in the square, a pasadoble sung by our grandparents, or a popular Catalan song learnt at a tender age all stir the heartstrings, transporting us to other times and other places. The programme for this concert revolves around this idea, with works that include popular songs easily recognisable to the audience. The Barcelona Symphony Band will also play classic sardanas.
