The DSO celebrates the vibrant cultural heritage of our neighbors to the south, opening with Aaron Copland’s well- known El Salón México, written after Carlos Chávez took the American composer to a nightclub in Mexico City in 1932. The concert continues with alluring works by prominent Mexican composers – Arturo Marquez, Manuel Ponce, and Silvestre Revueltas –along with Chávez’s consummate Piano Concerto, performed by Concert Artists Guild International Competition Winner Llewellyn Sánchez-Werner, a young artist with “masterful technique and a veritable deluge of sonorities” (La Presse Montreal).
