Concert: Schubert's 'The Great Symphony'

Experience a remarkable concert featuring Schubert's 'The Great Symphony', conducted by the renowned Leonard Slatkin and performed by the Franz Schubert Philharmonia. This event is part of the Barcelona Obertura Ciutat de Clàssica festival. The concert will commence with Samuel Barber's emotionally charged 'Adagio for Strings', a hallmark of American classical music. Following this, audience members will be delighted by Joseph Haydn's 'Symphony No. 94', known as 'The Surprise', which famously includes a startling drumbeat that astonished the original London audience. The performance will conclude with Schubert's monumental 'Symphony No. 9', sometimes referred to as 'The Great', a work of epic proportions created two centuries ago. This symphony epitomizes Schubert's orchestral mastery and remains a defining piece that he unfortunately never had the opportunity to hear during his lifetime. Join us for an evening celebrating the essence of Viennese classical and romantic music.
