Details
A concert that pays tribute to two giants of film music: Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota. The Orquestra Simfònica del Vallè, under the direction of Noemí Pasquina, will transport us to the sound universe of some of the most iconic films in cinema history. From the emotional melodies of Morricone’s Cinema Paradiso and The Mission to the unmistakable notes of Rota’s The Godfather and La Strada, the concert also includes other legendary pieces such as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Fellini 8 ½. An extraordinary concert that, through music and storytelling, will take us on a journey through the most moving and unforgettable moments of the seventh art.
The Palau de la Música Catalana dedicates the concert on December 16th to the memory of Dr. Jordi Roch, who passed away December 15, at the age of 94. Dr. Roch was a central and deeply beloved figure in Catalan musical life over the past 65 years. President of Joventuts Musicals de Barcelona, Juventudes Musicales de España, and the International Federation of Youth Music, his leadership fostered many initiatives supporting young musicians in Catalonia and Spain that are still active today. Thanks to his initiative, the Palau de la Música Catalana hosted its first educational concerts in the 1960s. A key witness to the creation of many musical initiatives over recent decades, in 1993 he founded the Schubertíada in Vilabertran, now an international benchmark event for the Romantic Lied genre. The Palau de la Música Catalana wishes to pay its most heartfelt tribute to a kind person, deeply passionate about music, and to express its gratitude for his enthusiastic and devoted work over so many years. May he rest in peace.
