Heroes and superheroes in concert

The Film Symphony Orchestra is a Spanish orchestra of eighty musicians that is exclusively dedicated to music for the cinema and related art forms.

But this is more than just an orchestra of highly professional musicians, as their performances are a show in themselves, with costumes, effects and visual projections.
The orchestra, founded in 2012, is conducted by the charismatic Constantino Martínez-Orts, whose credits include having composed the music for the 2017 Goya Awards and having conducted the BBC Concert Orchestra (among others).

Last spring, the orchestra was in Palma for a production entitled ‘Fénix’ (Phoenix). It is now returning with a new musical show. ‘Krypton’ highlights heroes and superheroes of the cinema and the music that has accompanied them. ‘Superman’ is obviously one of these. Other scores represented in the programme include those for ‘Braveheart’ and ‘Conan the Barbarian’.
