Waltz and dance festival

—Orquestra Simfònica del Vallès & Puig

Details

With its traditional Festival of Waltzes and Dances, the Orquestra Simfònica del Vallès invites us to celebrate the arrival of the holiday season with an evening full of rhythm, elegance, and good cheer. Under the baton of Xavier Puig and featuring soprano Laura del Río as guest artist, the program offers a musical farewell to the year, including waltzes, polkas, and other gems from the Viennese and European repertoire, all performed with their unmistakable festive spirit.

A joyful concert to bid farewell to the year with a smile and raise a toast—straight from the Palau de la Música Catalana—to a new year filled with music and good wishes.
