Festival Ibérico de Cine: Music to Watch - Soundtracks by Roque Baños

Festival Ibérico de Cine: Music to Watch – Soundtracks by Roque Baños invites you into the sonic heart of contemporary Spanish cinema, where the celebrated composer Roque Baños turns every film score into its own narrative landscape. In this exhilarating concert, the Orquesta de Extremadura takes you on a journey through stylistic transformations, weaving melodic intimacy with psychological tension and grand symphonic spectacle. From the delicate whispers of **Secondary Roads** and **Second Skin** to the driving rhythms and orchestral density of **The Passenger**, each piece demands constant register shifts and emotional recalibration. The program spotlights emblematic works that showcase Baños’ versatility—from the biting irony of **The Community** and the tragic lyricism of **The 13 Roses** to the expansive classicism of **Cantinflas**. It also delves into the oppressive atmosphere of **The Oxford Murders** and **The Widows of Thursdays**, the epic emotional terrain of **In the Heart of the Sea**, and the playful yet precise comedy of **Dying of Laughter**, **A Todo Tren**, **Father There Is Only One**, and the current hit **Torrent**, proof that even humor can thrive under rhythmic mastery. Each score pulses with its unique rhythm, yet all share a core: the power to transform visual images into unforgettable emotional memories. Join us for an unforgettable cinematic soundtrack experience that transcends the screen and invites you to re‑experience the highs and lows of Spanish film through the resonant voices of the Orquesta de Extremadura.
