Fall in Love with Latin American Music

Join us for a Latin American-style concert featuring the works of Manuel de Falla, Joaqu�n Rodrigo and Silvestre Revueltas at Latin American Classical Sept. 6 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 for orchestra seating. Mezzanine and lawn seating are free courtesy of The Wortham Foundation. Tickets are
not required for seating. Gates open at 7 p.m.  

 

Jason Vieaux

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Conducting the symphony is Hans Graf who enters his final season as Music Director of the Houston Symphony. The Symphony's 2012-13 season will be Graf's grand finale after 12 years at the helm of this world-renowned orchestra.  Joining the symphony is Jason Vieaux on guitar. Vieaux is cited as one of the "youngest stars of the guitar world" by The New York Times.

 

The concert features Suites No. 1 and 2 from Falla's "El Sombrero de tres picos," a ballet performed with full orchestral music. Falla was influenced by traditional Andalusian folk music. The mezzo-soprano songs are examples of cante jondo singing which typically accompanies flamenco music and tells a sad story. Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez for Guitar and Orchestra is a composition featuring classical guitar. The second movement is the best known of the three, marked by its slow pace and quiet melody, introduced by the English horn, with a soft accompaniment by guitar and strings. Revueltas' "Sensemay�," a poem by the Cuban poet Nicol�s Guill�n, was adapted as an orchestral work by Revueltas and became one of his most famous compositions.

 

Pre-concert activities for Latin American Classical begin at 7 p.m. in the North Plaza sponsored by Fidelity Investments, Market Street-The Woodlands, Renewal by Andersen and Century 21 Realty Partners. Children and parents can visit The Pavilion Partners Arts & Crafts Booth and Instrument Petting Zoo as well as activities by Woodforest National Bank, American Diabetes Association, Mercury: The Orchestra Redefined, Renewal by Andersen, Century 21 Realty Partners and Audi of America, official automobile of The Pavilion. Guests also can register-to-win Tommy Bahama's "Best Seats in the House," participate in Fidelity's Seat Exchange, and enjoy a performance by The Woodlands Show Chorus from 7-7:45 p.m. Get insight into the evening's program with Pavilion Talk, a free pre-concert discussion led by noted music scholar and former college professor Ira Black from 7:15-7:45 p.m. on the North Patio.

 

At the symphony, guests are welcome to have a picnic in their seat or on the hill. Keep in mind that beverages cannot be brought into The Pavilion. Sitting on the hill? Lawn chairs also are provided free for this event!
