Composer

Chilean conductor Paolo Bortolameolli opens this orchestral showcase with Chilean composer Miguel Farías’ brilliantly explosive Estallido. Jean Sibelius’ Violin Concerto presents an ambitious glimpse into the soul of a troubled composer. Grammy® Award-winning soloist Augustin Hadelich performs this intimate and demanding work. Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6, “Pathétique”, completed just nine days before his death, punctuates the composer’s life with a soaring work filled with raw emotion, lush orchestration and graceful melodies.

From gender equality to workers’ rights, musical protest and activism resonates through Latin American female artists, who have often led the charge and utilized everything from folk songs to symphonic compositions to raise their voice against injustice. Gustavo Dudamel leads the LA Phil in a concert honoring that musical legacy that includes Gabriela Ortiz’ tribute to Chilean Nueva Canción legend Violeta Parra, a new song cycle by Miguel Farías, and Mexican musician Silvana Estrada performing songs that have resonate across Latino America and the world that explore often-unspoken truths about gender violence and other important topics.
