Fall in Love with Latin American Music

 

Join us for a Latin American-style concert featuring the works of Manuel de Falla, Joaquín 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 free seating. Gates open at 7 p.m.

 

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' "Sensemayá," a poem by the Cuban poet Nicolás Guillén, was adapted as an orchestral work by Revueltas and became one of his most famous compositions.
