Cinco de Mayo served as an inspirational springboard for this unique concert celebrating both Spanish and Mexican music. The concert opens with José Pablo Moncayo’s Huapango, a lively and joyful tribute to the popular music of the Mexican state of Veracruz. Manuel de Falla’s gorgeously orchestrated Nights in the Gardens of Spain featuring the debut of young Mexican pianist Rachid Bernal will immerse us in Spanish Impressionism. Silvestre Revueltas is one of the giants among Mexican composers, and I am very excited to introduce to you his suite from the movie La Noche de Los Mayas, featuring a multimedia presentation of Mayan art. And finally, a great mariachi ensemble Mariachi Los Camperos will play selections of Mexican songs with the Madison Symphony. A truly unique concert designed to lift your spirits and bring my 30th anniversary celebration to a rousing and joyful finale.

Here are melodies that have found their way into our lives from small screen to big screen, in adverts and on the stage. You may not remember exactly where you first heard them, but you’ll find yourself humming along and tapping your toes nevertheless. Delight in Shostakovich’s fantastic arrangement of Tea for Two (the Tahiti Trot), try to keep up with Grieg’s frenetic Norwegian Dance and give in to the sheer dramatic passion of two of Tchaikovsky’s greatest ballet creations. Oh, and try to control yourself through those tangos…

In carnival season, Domingo Hindoyan throws caution to the wind: expect Latin rhythms, Russian colours and of course – it goes without saying – Pacho’s own brand of pyrotechnics to light up the sky. How many different trumpets will he play this time? There’s only one way to find out…
