Get ready for an unforgettable afternoon concert packed with energy, passion, and dazzling music from across the Americas!

This dynamic programme opens with Gershwin’s Cuban Overture — a sun-soaked, rhythm-filled celebration of Havana’s musical spirit.

We’re then thrilled to welcome Young Musician of the Year 2022,  Jordan Ashman as soloist for Ney Rosauro’s Marimba Concerto No.1,

a breathtaking showcase of lyricism and flair, blending Brazilian rhythms with classical elegance.

Feel the pulse of Piazzolla’s Libertango, where tango meets the freedom of jazz, and be swept away by the lush soundscapes of Villa-Lobos’ Bachianas Brasileiras No.7, a masterful fusion of Brazilian folk and Baroque tradition. We round off with the irresistible energy of Márquez’s Conga del fuego nuevo — a fiery, foot-tapping finale guaranteed to lift your spirits.

​
