Marin Alsop Conducts Scheherazade

✨ Join us for an enchanting evening with the Colorado Symphony and the esteemed Conductor Laureate Marin Alsop!

Immerse yourself in the world of love, intrigue, and suspense with Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade. This captivating adaptation draws inspiration from the timeless tales of Arabian Nights, where the violin personifies the clever Scheherazade, who skillfully engages her Sultan husband through spellbinding stories.

🎼 Experience the breathtaking Latin Concerto by the talented Venezuelan pianist Gabriela Montero, showcasing her dual prowess as both composer and performer. This piece is described as a chiaroscuro reflection of Latin America, embodying its richness, rhythms, and the stark reality that lies beneath the surface of beauty.

Additionally, delight in Gabriela Ortiz’s Antrópolis, which narrates the vibrant soundscape of Mexico City’s dance halls and nightlife—heralded by The New York Times as a masterpiece that would make Leonard Bernstein envious!

This concert not only highlights stunning works but also celebrates the contributions of women in music. 🎉
