Details
Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis is one of his most monumental and profound works, a true sonic cathedral that transcends the liturgical genre to become a spiritual and artistic declaration. With a powerful and intense language, Beethoven composed this mass not only as an expression of faith, but also as a nearly philosophical search for the meaning of existence and divinity.
The Orquestra Simfònica del Vallès, under the baton of Xavier Puig, joins forces with two of the country’s most prestigious choral ensembles — the Orfeó Català and the Cor de Cambra of the Palau de la Música Catalana — along with a vocal quartet of outstanding soloists: Marta Mathéu (soprano), Mireia Pintó (mezzo-soprano), Roger Padullés (tenor), and Joan Martín-Royo (baritone), to perform this masterful work. A unique opportunity to experience live one of the most demanding and transcendent creations in the history of music.
An extraordinary concert that invites contemplation, emotion, and admiration in the face of Beethoven’s greatness.
