In “The Americas,” the Symphony explore the rich heritage of folk melodies from the United States and Mexico that was reborn by 20th Century composers. Pieces by the incomparable Aaron Copland open (“El Salón México”) and close (Appalachian Spring orchestral suite “Simple Gifts”) the concert. In between will be performances of Arturo Márquez’ lovely Concerto for Harp, “Mascaras,” and Carlos Chávez’s most popular work Symphony No. 2, “Sinfonía India.” Arrive early for the Symphony’s Pre-Concert Talk, which occurs one hour prior to the concert start time and features guest conductors and/or local musicologists discussing the composers and their works. Recommended for ages 9 and older.
