An orchestra from superheroes to "transformative change" comes to Palma

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 'Krypton', which highlighted superheroes of the cinema and their music. 'Superman' was obviously one of these.

Returning to Mallorca, the new show is 'Henko', a Japanese word that is hard to translate exactly but can be summed up as meaning achieving transformative change. Bond, Star Wars, Indiana Jones; these are just some of the inspirations for Henko.
