PROGRAMME

Do you remember your first day at school, that mixture of excitement and nerves? The outlandish characters in Bandàstic feel exactly the same way when they arrive at their first concert to perform with the Barcelona Symphonic Band (BMB). Amid spectacular music and comical scenes, circus professionals mingle with the band’s instruments to dance to the rhythm of zarzuelas, festive marches and film melodies.

The BMB, one of the oldest active musical institutions in the country, invites primary and secondary school students to the largest concert hall in L’Auditori to enjoy and participate in a concert filled with laughter, dancing and brilliantly bandàstic performers!

The activity includes an online teaching guide with educational resources for use in the classroom before and after the concert: audio recordings, sheet music, activities, audiovisual materials and a brief introduction to the composers and works in the repertoire.

Alongside this event, we recommend a visit to the Museu de la Música, which you will need to book.
