Symphonic Tango & Flamenco

Former Dudamel Fellow François López-Ferrer leads listeners around the world with Latin and Spanish dance-inspired symphonic music. Showcasing the rhythmic allure of Andalusian folk music, the Spanish-American conductor leads Falla’s evocative suite from The Three-Cornered Hat as well as Debussy’s poetic and provocative impression of the Iberian Peninsula. Distinguished Colburn graduate and violinist Blake Pouliot puts his spin on Piazzolla’s Argentine tango vision of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. And as the grand finale unfolds, Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana sashays to the steadfast snare of Ravel’s iconic Boléro, bringing forth the spirited ancestry and flair of traditional Spanish dance.
