Whipping winds, bombastic percussion and shimmering strings—this captivating program is pulsing with new energy and features not one, but three pieces performed by the Minnesota Orchestra for the first time. First, Chilean-born conductor Paolo Bortolameolli introduces audiences to Miguel Farías’ evocative Retratos Australes. Then our own First Associate Concertmaster Susie Park performs Gabriela Ortiz’s blazing violin concerto. Finally, you might be reminded of Igor Stravinsky when you hear Silvestre Revueltas’ La noche de los mayas, a 1930s film score drawn from Mayan folklore.
