Program

The sessions for this concert will be more relaxed.‎
Rules regarding noise and movement in the concert hall will be more relaxed than usual, and ‎some minor adjustments may also be made to the lighting, sound, etc. for the wellbeing of all ‎kinds of public. These types of sessions are for individuals and families who prefer a more ‎casual atmosphere, thereby reducing anxiety levels and making the experience better for ‎everyone (e.g. families with small children, people with Alzheimer’s, people with autism, ‎etc.). ‎

A hundred years ago, American cities like New York and Chicago experienced a boom in popular music and entertainment that ran parallel to the construction of skyscrapers and the growth of the automobile industry. Jazz, blues and swing were to be heard in leisure venues everywhere, music that spread all over the world, also becoming popular in Catalonia. In this concert, Symphonic Band offers a programme with such well known works as George Hamilton Green’s Charleston and William Christopher Handy’s blues music, plus works by renowned composers George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Charles Chaplin, who, in addition to acting and directing, also wrote the theme tunes for some of his films. As well as all these North American tunes, the concert includes a change in rhythm with a selection of Carlos Gardel’s best known tangos.
