Brahms & Trumpet

Pacho Flores brings his incredible trumpet skills to the Winspear Centre as he makes his ESO debut performing a dynamic new trumpet concerto written especially for him in 2018 by Arturo Márquez, Mexico’s most celebrated living composer. Two memorable Mexican orchestral showpieces - Huapango by José Pablo Moncayo and Sinfonía india by Carlos Chávez – complement the concerto.

After taking over a decade to compose his first symphony, Brahms’ Symphony No. 2 was finished in less than a year. However, this did not compromise the intricate and rich sound of the masterpiece, which includes his recognizable “lullaby” theme.

Patrons of this event are invited to attend a prelude presentation before this concert on Saturday, March 15th, starting at 6:45 PM in the Upper Circle Lobby (3rd Floor). This talk by D.T. Baker is a fantastic way to learn more about the pieces being performed in your concert.

Program subject to change.

This concert will include an intermission.
