«Psicosi» in concert

Premiered in 1960, Psicosi changed the way cinematic suspense was understood. Much of its tension comes from the score by Bernard Herrmann, who chose to forgo wind and percussion instruments and composed all the music using only strings.

The result was a succession of sharp sounds, silences, and unsettling melodies that accompany the secrets of the Bates motel and the disturbing events surrounding its characters.

The famous shower scene, with its violent violin stabs, became one of the most recognisable musical moments in film history.

In this event, the Orquestra Simfònica del Vallès, conducted by Julian Bigg, will perform the score in sync with the original images.

Psicosi in concert offers a chance to discover just how much Herrmann’s music contributes to the creation of fear, and how a well-known film can provoke new sensations when its soundtrack comes to life on stage.
