About This Concert

Travel through the hills of Italy with Mendelssohn’s spirited Symphony No. 4 (“Italian”), and tango with Manuel de Falla’s exuberant Three Dances from El Sombrero de tres picos. Ginastera’s Danzas del Ballet Estancia and Márquez’s showstopping Danzón No. 2 close the performance.
