New Mexico Symphony Orchestra: the Genius of Youth April 25, 2009

The concert will open with nothing less than a world premiere, a composition by young Mexican composer Alexis Aranda commissioned by Maestro Prieto to commemorate the anniversary of Mexican Independence in 2010. Then, the youthful and talented Mexican violinist Elena Urioste will perform the romantic and thrillingly virtuosic Violin Concerto by Glazunov. Rachmaninoff brings the program to a sweeping, emotional close.
