The concert on November 23 will be dedicated to the memory of Josep Colomer, who was president of the Orquestra Simfònica del Vallés Foundation and benefactor of the Palau de la Música Catalana.

Get ready to travel to the Wild West as we present some of the most iconic soundtracks from the film genre. With vibrant melodies and soundscapes that capture the spirit of the frontier, each composition will transport you to a world of cowboys, Native Americans, and horseback adventures. From The Magnificent Seven to Dances with Wolves, from Elmer Bernstein to John Barry, let the music take us to distant lands on a journey through time to the heart of the American West.

With a script by Jordi Cos specially created for the occasion, narrated by voice actor Luis Posada, and featuring the musical participation of baritone Toni Marsol and the voices of the Cor Jove de l’Orfeó Català under the direction of Víctor Pablo Pérez, we will journey to the Wild West in a unique concert that goes straight to the heart.
