A tribute to the soundtracks of the Western genre
Every year, the Vallès Symphony Orchestra surprises us with a concert dedicated to the soundtracks that have marked the history of cinema. This season, under the direction of Víctor Pablo Pérez, the emblematic music of the Western genre will be explored, a style that has left a deep mark on the hearts of several generations.
A unique audiovisual experience
Spectators will be able to enjoy a concert that will combine live music with narrations in Catalan, interpreted by the dubbing actor Luís Posada. In addition, the images that will accompany the melodies, created by Iván Mardones, will bring a visual dimension to the experience. The concerts will be held in several emblematic venues, including the La Faràndula Theater in Sabadell and the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona.
Dates and places of the performances
The series of concerts will take place on several dates: November 22 in Sabadell, November 23 and 30 in Barcelona, November 24 in Terrassa, and finally January 31, 2025 in Sant Cugat del Vallès. In each performance, the orchestra will be accompanied by outstanding voices such as the soprano Andrea Martí and the baritone Toni Marsol.
Exploring the diversity of the Western genre
The repertoire selected for this concert seeks to reflect the diversity of Western music. Jordi Cos, creator of the original idea, highlights that a balance has been sought between the popularity of the pieces and their historical contexts. The works will include classics of the genre ranging from the first Western films to productions that deal with themes of colonization and the perspective of Native Americans.
Iconic music and renowned composers
The concert will feature unmistakable tunes, such as the famous soundtrack of Elmer Bernstein’s The Magnificent Seven, as well as works by masters such as Dimitri Tiomkin and Ennio Morricone. Fragments of emblematic films and popular themes that have remained in the collective memory will be heard.
An opportunity to rediscover the genre
This concert is not only a reminder of the melodies that have entertained us over the years, but also an invitation to reflect on the complexity of the history of the Western. The pieces, which range from vibrant fanfares to more introspective compositions, will transport us to a fascinating past, full of contrasts.
A musical journey that lasts
With the promise of a memorable concert, the Vallès Symphony Orchestra invites us to live a unique experience that combines music, cinema and history. Western’s legacy will continue to captivate new generations, and this concert is a wonderful opportunity to rediscover it.
