When Aaron Copland hit the town in Mexico City, he didn’t hold back, and tonight, Chief Conductor Domingo Hindoyan takes us on a wild, whirling ride through the highs and lows of the 20th century. Maurice Ravel waltzes on the brink, and Julián Orbón brings Cuban dances to the party. We also welcome back previous Artist in Residence Simone Lamsma to play Britten’s gripping Violin Concerto: a work that weaves dark visions on the eve of the Second World War.
