Constellations Series: concert II

LICEU BRASS ENSEMBLE

An eloquent programme full of subtleties

The Liceu Brass Ensemble sprang from the brass section of the Orquestra del Gran Teatre del Liceu, with the unconditional support of its conductor, maestro Josep Pons, and with the aim of performing rigorous, outstanding work. 

In the preparation for this concert, the members of the Liceu Brass Ensemble conducted exhaustive technical work and delved into a virtuoso, demanding and yet highly gratifying programme. 

This time, it will be led and conducted by the prestigious trumpet soloist Matthias Höfs, a member of the German Brass Ensemble. 

It is an eloquent programme full of subtleties in which wind instruments will shine more than ever!  

Constellations Series

This season we start a new series of chamber orchestra concerts with the aim of showcasing to audiences the musicians in the orchestra as soloists to show their virtuoso facet and connect their faces and their art.
