AMERICA'S SOUND [SOUTH]

Program and Description

A truly unforgettable May Festival finale. Principal Conductor Juanjo Mena leads a wildly colorful collage of South American works. Feel the rhythms dreamt of by Brazilian master Heitor Villa-Lobos and experience Venezuelan composer Antonio Estévez’s vividly cinematic Cantata Criolla—the story of the devil and a singing contest sometimes called South America’s Carmina burana.

GINASTERA: Suite from Panambi
VILLA-LOBOS: Chôros No. 3, Pica-pau ("Woodpecker")
VILLA-LOBOS: Chôros No. 10, Rasga o Coracão ("Rend the Heart")
