The Cor de Cambra del Palau de la Música Catalana presents Va de vals, a new production for this season that takes audiences on a journey to 19th-century Europe, when the waltz became the defining dance of elegant ballrooms and social gatherings. Conducted by Xavier Puig, with pianists Jordi Armengol and Maria Mauri, dancers Amanda Rubio and Blanca Tolsà, and stage direction by Anna Romaní, the performance brings together choral music and dance to evoke the elegance and spirit of a bygone era. The programme features Brahms’s Liebeslieder Waltzes, the evocative melodies of Elgar’s From the Bavarian Highlands and the melancholy of Sibelius’s Valse triste, contrasting with the exuberant joy of Johann Strauss II’s The Blue Danube. A staged performance exploring the many emotions of the waltz, from intimate lyricism to festive exuberance, through the interplay of voices, piano and movement.
