Santa Cecilia Orchestra

Under the baton of Sonia Marie De Léon de Vega, journey with us as we explore music from and inspired by the Americas. The concert begins with selections from Copland’s "Rodeo" and a spirited tribute to Latin culture with music of Argentina and Mexico. This sizzling concert reveals the soul of Latino music with thrilling Latin rhythms and rich orchestration. The concert concludes with Dvorak’s epic “New World Symphony,” one of the most powerful symphonies of all, a masterpiece that embodies the American spirit. Through live performances and stimulating music education programs, Santa Cecilia Orchestra's mission is to share the beauty and inspiration of classical music with Southern California audiences, giving special focus to Latino communities that are underserved and underrepresented by the arts.
