Psycho A. Hitchcock in Concert

Psycho in Concert: Hitchcock's Masterpiece in a Film Concert at the Palau de la Música Catalana

For Halloween, the Palau de la Música Catalana invites the public to rediscover Psycho, the famous thriller by Alfred Hitchcock, during a film screening accompanied by a live symphony orchestra.
On Saturday, October 31, 2026, at 6:30 PM, the Orquestra Simfònica del Vallès, conducted by Julian Bigg, will perform the original score by Bernard Herrmann during the full screening of the film.
This experience combines the power of Hitchcock's imagery with the intensity of a live musical performance. Composed exclusively for string instruments, Bernard Herrmann's score plays a crucial role in the film's dramatic tension. Its incisive sounds, particularly those from the famous shower scene, are among the most memorable passages in film music history.
In the grand hall of the Palau de la Música Catalana, audiences will be able to experience the suspense, silences, and moments of tension of this cinematic classic in a new way.
Presented as part of the Sinfónicos en el Palau series, this special Halloween film concert offers a meeting of cinema, symphonic music, and Barcelona's cultural heritage.
