Adrià's Confessions (2020) is a concerto for guitar and orchestra written by the award-winning composer Marián Budoš (Australia/Slovakia). The concerto is inspired by the million-copy best-selling novel Confessions (Jo Confesso) by the author Jaume Cabré. Australian guitarist Jacob Cordover gave the premiere performance in 2021 at the iconic Palau de la Música concert hall in Barcelona with the Orquestra del Reial Cercle Artistic under the baton of Helena Bayo.

Adrià's Confessions is the result of art inspiring art across cultures, languages and mediums. After reading the celebrated multi-award winning, literary masterpiece Confessions by the Catalonian novelist Jaume Cabré, Marián Budoš was so deeply impacted by the story, that it sparked within him the need to create a sound world for this book. This became the foundation for a unique piece of music, a book-concerto for guitar and orchestra. The book, Confessions, is described by the literary agent in symphonic terms, saying “...an instant bestseller in more than 30 languages, Confessions is an astonishing story of one man's life, interwoven with a narrative that stretches across centuries to create an addictive and unforgettable literary symphony.” (Agencia Balcells)
