Clàssics del western

A concert devoted to western film music, with pieces by Ennio Morricone, Elmer Bernstein, John Williams, John Barry and Roque Baños performed by BMB and Els Pirates Teatre, under the direction of Ximo Tarín.

The programme revolves around western soundtracks, a genre that, according to the show's premise, has left a shared imagery across several generations, with duels, saloons and chases between Native Americans and cowboys as recognisable images. The scores chosen come from films that marked different decades of the twentieth century, from the 1960s to the 1970s.

The repertoire includes Moment for Morricone, Per un grapat de dòlars by Ennio Morricone, Els set magnífics by Elmer Bernstein, the overture to The Cowboys by John Williams, a film starring John Wayne, and Bailando con lobos by John Barry. Also heard is the suite by Roque Baños for 800 balas, the comedy by Álex de la Iglesia that pays homage to westerns. On stage are BMB and Els Pirates Teatre, with Ximo Tarín directing.

This is a relaxed session: the rules on noise and movement in the venue are more flexible, and small adjustments to lighting and sound may be introduced. It is designed for all kinds of audiences, including families with children, people with Alzheimer's or with autism. The venue, Sala 2 Oriol Martorell, hosts concerts and shows in Barcelona.
