A century after Antoni Gaudí was laid to rest, Barcelona has answered the silence with sound — commissioning a choral symphony, 'Set somnis de Gaudí,' conducted by Marin Alsop with the London Philharmonia, to translate the architect's spatial dreams into music. The city's Year of Gaudí unfolds across free public concerts at Plaça de Catalunya and the Palau de la Música Catalana, weaving together art, memory, and civic life. It is a reminder that the greatest human visions do not end with their makers — they become the cities we inhabit, and eventually, the music we play inside them.
