Mena Conducts South American Epics

Mena Conducts South American Epics

Presented by The May Festival at Music Hall

The romance of South America comes to life as Principal Conductors Juanjo Mena leads a program of South American epics. Ginastera's playful ballet music depicts a magical nighttime story, while the rhythmic energies of Villa-Lobos' Chôros recall the raw power of his native Brazil. Venezuelan composer Antonio Estévez’s Cantata Criolla—sometimes called South America’s Carmina Burana—stars tenor and baritone soloists as a poet and the devil, in a singing contest.
