A pioneering immersive experience using virtual reality technology takes viewers on an emotional journey to the interior of music.

Under the baton of Gustavo Dudamel and accompanied by more than a hundred musicians that make up the prestigious Mahler Chamber Orchestra, audiences will be able to experience and feel music in an unprecedented, unique fashion that will even allow them to enter the interior of an instrument.

Two large spaces will host cutting-edge technology to guide them, under the direction of the great Venezuelan conductor, on an emotional journey into the soul of music that will feature the compositions of Ludwig van Beethoven, as well as pieces by Gustav Mahler and Leonard Bernstein.

This itinerant project, permanent in Barcelona, conceived and produced by the ”la Caixa” Foundation, offers the opportunity to understand, through image and music, the way in which a universe as sophisticated and beautiful as that of a symphony orchestra is constructed from the simplicity of a piece of wood or the rawness of a chunk of metal. The initiative aims to help disseminate classical music through symphonic compositions and bring it to the general public, as well as to all music lovers who may also feel drawn into this unprecedented experience.

  • Conception, direction and production: ”la Caixa” Foundation
  • Original idea, script and artistic direction: Igor Cortadellas
  • Musical director: Gustavo Dudamel
