Simfonia domèstica de Strauss

Sala 1 Pau Casals hosts a performance of Strauss's Symphonia domestica by the OBC under the direction of Edmon Colomer.

Richard Strauss's Symphonia domestica is a monumental work of the late Romantic repertoire for large orchestra, composed at the beginning of the twentieth century. The piece stands out for its orchestral colour and its ambitious symphonic writing, in which the composer portrayed scenes from his own family life through a detailed web of motifs and a complex orchestral palette.

On stage, the Orquestra Simfònica de Barcelona i Nacional de Catalunya (OBC), under the baton of Edmon Colomer, takes on this demanding classical programme during its stop in Barcelona. The concert offers audiences the chance to hear live a score that calls for a large ensemble and considerable collective virtuosity.

The evening is aimed at followers of the late Romantic symphonic repertoire and at those who wish to explore Strauss's orchestral music as part of the season at this Barcelona venue.
