The Barcelona Symphony Orchestra (OBC), under the baton of Ludovic Morlot and featuring cellist Pablo Ferrández, will perform “Dances from West Side Story”. The programme also includes works by Dvořák and I. C. Silva. Leonard Bernstein’s “Symphonic Dances”—a vibrant nine-movement orchestral suite adapted from his iconic musical—captures the intensity and drama of rival gangs in 1950s New York, blending Latin rhythms (“Mambo”, “Cha‑cha”) with soulful passages like “Somewhere”
