The concert will also present the premiere of a commissioned work by Canadian composer Zosha Di Castri titled Invisible House, culminating in the monumental orchestral power of Sergei Prokofiev's Symphony No. 5, Op. 100.

🎶 Outstanding artists on stage

The New York Philharmonic, recognized as one of the oldest and most iconic orchestras in the United States, returns to the Catalan capital ten years after its historic debut in the city.

For this much-anticipated return, the American ensemble joins forces with the Orfeó Català, one of the country's most prestigious choral institutions. Following their successful collaboration last February with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Gustavo Dudamel himself, they share the stage once again for an exceptional season opening.
