This is a weekend featuring a lavish repertoire at L’Auditori with the ‎concerts programmed by theBarcelona Symphony Orchestra and the ‎‎Barcelona Symphony Band. In total there will be five sessions, with ‎theOBC performing Beethoven’s five piano concertos ‎and the Barcelona Symphony Band bringing us the magnificent ‎‎Carmina Burana by Carl Orff.‎

This evening, tomorrow and Sunday morning, the brilliant pianist and conductor ‎Rudolf Buchbinder returns once again to lead the OBC, offering the ‎complete five piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven. This much-‎anticipated event within L’Auditori’s Beethoven250 Festival will allow ‎audiences to rediscover one of the greatest contemporary performers of Beethoven’s works. ‎

Also, on Sunday 23 and Monday 24, the Barcelona Symphony Band will present one ‎of the most epic symphonic-choral works of the 20th century: Carmina Burana, by Carl ‎Orff. The Band’s principal conductor, José R. Pascual Vilaplana, ‎will be accompanied by the Cantiga, Sinera and Sant Jordi choirs – three prestigious ‎Catalan ensembles – and soprano Ulrike Haller, counter-tenor Jordi Domènech and baritone ‎Toni Marsol.‎
