Wrap yourself in a vibrant tapestry of cultural heritage, family, and belonging as composers past and present weave their personal stories into their music in “Culture Chronicles.” Gabriela Lena Frank’s Elegia Andina(Andean Elegy) brings her Peruvian upbringing to life through indigenous instruments. Juan Pablo Contreras pays heartfelt tribute to Dia de los Muertos and Mexican traditions in Alma Monarca (Monarch Soul), a Sinfonietta co-commission and Chicago Premiere. The evening culminates with Dvořák’s cheerful Symphony No. 8, a celebration of nature and Bohemian folk music.
