Carillon of the Palau de la Generalitat. Extraordinary concert for the La Mercè festivities

The Carillon of the Palau de la Generalitat, with its fifty bells and an impressive weight of nearly five tonnes, is a real musical gem. Since its inauguration in 1976, thanks to the efforts of carillonist M. Dolors Coll, this instrument has been a symbol of majesty and art. The Carillon will be transformed into a musical time machine with an extraordinary concert to mark the start of the 2024-2025 season. Anna Maria Reverté takes us on a sound journey through the soundtracks of iconic films. Imagine the grandiose nature of the music of Indiana Jones, the magic of Mary Poppins, the elegance of Breakfast at Tiffany's, and the emotion of Star Wars, all performed in the unique resonance of the bells. A night when movie images fuse with the ethereal sound of the Carillon, creating an unforgettable experience. Come along and immerse yourself in the music that has accompanied some of the greatest movie moments of all time.
