The BVSO season opener starts things off with some spicy numbers, including Copland’s Three Latin-American Sketches, Five Tango Sensations by Piazzolla, and a passionate suite from Shostakovich. Ginastera’s Variaciones Concertantes rounds out this upbeat evening with dynamic flair. Adding to the sizzling ambiance of the night, award-winning French-born bandoneón artist, Julien Labro will add his electrifying solo presence to the evening. Labro’s exudes an artful and resonant style accompanied with international acclaim and has been deemed, “a triple threat: brilliant technician, poetic melodist and cunning arranger.” Join Maestro Marcelo Bussiki and our professional orchestra as we begin this special season with heart-pumping compositions and an always thrilling live music experience.
