This vibrant programme brings together music of dialogue, city energy and sun鈥慸renched dance under the direction of Carlos Miguel Prieto. Gabriela Ortiz鈥檚 TZAM, meaning 鈥渄ialogue鈥� in the endangered Ayapaneco language, opens the evening with a powerful reflection on human connection, memory and shared space. Dedicated to the late composer Mario Lavista, the work invites listeners into an urgent and contemplative musical conversation.

Ethan Loch is soloist in Gershwin鈥檚 iconic Rhapsody in Blue, a work born from the rhythms of the American city and famously conceived on a train journey. Jazzy, virtuosic and unmistakably American, it remains a dazzling musical kaleidoscope.

After the interval, Manuel de Falla鈥檚 full ballet The Three鈥慍ornered Hat closes the concert in brilliant colour, blending Spanish folk rhythms with luminous orchestration in a theatrical score of irresistible vitality.
