For decades Sofia Gubaidulina has been a leading figure in international contemporary music. This performance of Hour of the Soul, which she has arranged for band herself, is a wonderful opportunity to enter a sound universe infused with spirituality. Percussion instruments are central to the work, reflecting the inner life of individuals. As the piece proceeds, the external world, often futile and superficial, intrudes, in the form of film clips, Soviet marches and popular tunes, ending with some verses by Marina Tsvetaeva, a victim of Stalin’s repression.

Sofia Gubaidulina és, des de fa dècades, un referent de la música contemporània mundial. En aquest sentit, la interpretació d’Hour of the Soul, que ella mateixa ha instrumentat per a banda, és una gran oportunitat per introduir-nos en el seu univers sonor amarat d’espiritualitat. Els instruments de percussió són centrals en aquesta obra, ja que descriuen la vida interior dels individus. Mentre es desenvolupa la partitura, el món exterior, sovint fútil i superficial, irromp sobtadament, ja sigui en forma de cites cinematogràfiques, marxes soviètiques o músiques populars, i acaba amb uns versos de la poetessa Marina Tsvetàieva, que va patir la devastadora repressió de Stalin. 

Ferrer Ferran va compondre la Simfonia n. 3 per encàrrec de la Federació Catalana de Societats Musicals. Està dedicada a l’arquitecte Antoni Gaudí i s’organitza en dos moviments: “Gaudí” i “Sagrada Família”. Enceta el concert l’estrena d’una obra de Stephanie Marie Macchi, estudiant de composició de l’Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya.
