The concert by the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra, meanwhile, is ‎inspired by the music of Slavic and Eastern Europe composers, with classic ‎pieces by Dvořák, Brahms, Strauss, Borodin and Ivanovici, in addition to ‎two arias from Bizet’s opera Carmen with Catalan ‎mezzosoprano Laura Vila, performing with the orchestra for the first time.
