Warm up this winter with an evening in sunny Spain! The Latin Grammy-nominated Pan American Symphony Orchestra (PASO) brings you a lush symphonic extravaganza—works by three of Spain's most celebrated composers Pablo de Sarasate, Joaquin Turina, and Manuel de Falla. Sarasate's Carmen Fantasy for orchestra and violin, featuring Holly Nelson on violin, is based on the themes from Bizet's famous opera, Carmen, and is a virtuoso showcase for the violin. Turina's "The Bullfighter's Prayer" (Oración del Torero), originally written for a guitar quartet, and his Serenade ("Serenata") have been masterfully arranged by Maestro Buslje for orchestra. Talented Argentine pianist Agustin Muriago solos in Turina's Rapsodia Sinfónica. This concert also features excerpts from Manuel de Falla's El Amor Brujo and a work by Argentine composer, Carlos Guastavino, La Rosa y el Sauce.
