Brahms & Trumpet

Winspear Centre

North and South American rhythms – in Leonard Bernstein's "West Side Story" they characterize the two rival gangs, the Jets and the Sharks. Bernstein arranged some numbers from the now famous musical as a suite, which conquered the concert stage as "symphonic dances."
Just like George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," in which jazz elements, blues and symphonic music merge together. The African-American composer Florence Price is considered a rediscovery, and her "Suite of Dance" will be heard. Darius Milhaud's dance-like cinema fantasy "The Ox on the Roof" and the rhythmic piece "Huapango" by the Mexican José Pablo Moncayo will also be heard. 

Rhapsody & Rhythm

Berliner Philharmonie

Enjoy food trucks, artisan crafts, and dancers on the plaza beforehand—then continue the party in the concert hall as you clap along to music from Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, and more. Composer Arturo Márquez describes the trumpet as “the Mexican cry of joy and sorrow” and José Sibaja proves this as trumpet soloist in Marquez’ Concierto de Otoño (Autumn Concerto) on not one, not two, but four different instruments! This high-energy concert concludes with Rimsky-Korsakov’s vibrant Capriccio espagnol, which was directly influenced by folk melodies of Spain.

Celebración Sinfónica
