Dvořák Symphony No. 8
Thu Mar 21 — Fri Mar 22, 2024
Orchestra Hall
You will be dancing in your seat from the first note to the last as you listen to Domingo Hindoyan conduct the Minnesota Orchestra with guest trumpet soloist Pacho Flores. In Arturo Márquez’s new trumpet concerto, Flores delivers the many colors and flavors of Latin American dance bands while he performs on four different types of trumpets. These concerts conclude with Dvořák’s radiant Eighth Symphony, interwoven with a multitude of folksongs and delightful dance melodies.
