Masterworks II
A convergence of Baroque elegance, vibrant contemporary rhythms, and romanticism is the focus for the second concert of our Masterworks season. Showcasing eighteenth-century Baroque Italian elegance, Alessandro Scarlatti’s Sinfonie di concerto grosso No. 2 in D opens the second concert in our Masterworks season. Next up is the riotously colorful concerto for violin and orchestra by Arturo Márquez, violin concerto Fandango based on Mariachi music. The orchestra will be joined by violinist Anne Akiko Meyers, who will bring Marquez's composition to life, infusing it with passion and rhythmic energy. Concluding the evening is a rarely performed early work by Camille Saint-Saëns, his Symphony in A major.
