OVERVIEW
Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with a program featuring the spirited sounds of Latin America and Spain, and the highly anticipated return of vivacious conductor Enrico Lopez-Yañez and Costa Rican trumpet soloist José Sibaja!
Enjoy food, artisan crafts, and dancers on the plaza beforehand (Saturday performance only 10 AM to 6 PM)—then continue the party in the concert hall as you clap along to music from Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, and more. Composer Arturo Márquez describes the trumpet as “the Mexican cry of joy and sorrow” and José Sibaja proves this as trumpet soloist in Márquez’ Concierto de Otoño (Autumn Concerto) on not one, not two, but four different instruments! This high-energy concert concludes with Rimsky-Korsakov’s vibrant Capriccio espagnol, which was directly influenced by folk melodies of Spain.
ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES
Join us for Celebración Sinfónica, a vibrant celebration of music, culture, and community! On Saturday, from 10 AM to 6 PM, enjoy live performances, explore local vendors, and savor delicious food before the evening concert. Whether you’re here for the day or just stopping by, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
