CaixaForum Barcelona hosts a permanent installation of Symphony
Barcelona, 8 April 2021
- As from this Saturday, ”la Caixa” Foundation’s cultural centre will host a permanent exhibition dedicated to Symphony, the project which employs virtual reality (VR) technology to offer spectators a chance to experience and enjoy classical music as they have never done before, inviting them to feel like one of the musicians in the orchestra.
- Under the baton of Gustavo Dudamel and with more than sixty musicians that make up the internationally acclaimed Mahler Chamber Orchestra plus forty young musicians representing 22 countries, CaixaForum Barcelona audiences will be able to hear music in a unique fashion.
- The Symphony experience premiered to great public and critical success in the Catalan capital last 15 September, with the idea of touring for ten years to different towns and cities in Spain and Portugal. To date, the exhibition has visited six (Barcelona, Santander, Valladolid, Madrid, Granada and Malaga).
