A program in two parts, this concert features two distinct ideas. On the first half, SPCO musicians lead a colorful musical journey that fuses elements of Latin American folk traditions with energetic, rhythmically charged moments. 20th century American composer Aaron Copland’s “Three Latin-American Sketches” borrows elements and traditions from Latin American music, many of which can be heard in the work of Mexican composer Arturo Márquez, whose rhythmic Danzón No. 2 was popularized in the early aughts by the renowned conductor Gustavo Dudamel on the European and American tours of the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela. On the second half of the program, the SPCO’s “sublime” (Bachtrack) Principal Violin Kyu-Young Kim takes center stage for Sergei Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto in G minor, the opening lines of which feature a low melody from the violin that grows into an expertly tangled, robust back and forth with the full orchestra, oscillating between moments of unbridled passion and sweet reflection.
