Rhythm to Revolution

A program of rhythm, color, and contrast, this concert brings together the energy of jazz-infused Ravel, the striking modernity of Gabriela Ortiz, and the raw power of Shostakovich. Inspired by the dynamic cultural life of Mexico City, Grammy award-winning composer Gabriela Ortiz’ Antrópolis is a thrilling contemporary piece that showcases the percussion section, with ASO Principal Timpanist Curt Armbruster taking a featured role.
