An instrument called orchestra

 An instrument called the orchestra is a lively and amusing presentation of the orchestra as an instrument where, little by little, the different sections or families which make it up are presented, adding up to a musical voyage which reveals the acoustic and expressive possibilities contained in a symphony orchestra.

The concert lasts around 50 minutes, and the programme includes traditional Catalan music, cinematic music, and that of the greatest composers in history, such as Mozart or Txaikovski.
