Latin American beats and orchestral power: this concert is sure to get you moving! The Mexican composer Arturo Márquez, who has long enjoyed cult status even beyond the classical music world, sets off a rhythmic fireworks display with Arturo Márquez’s Conga del Fuego Nuevo. The evening’s highlight is Alberto Ginastera’s Harp Concerto, performed by the Munich Philharmonic’s principal harpist Teresa Zimmermann.

Inspired by Argentine folklore and a modern musical language, Ginastera liberates the harp from traditional clichés.

The programme concludes with Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances. In his last completed composition, Rachmaninoff takes stock of his musical life, not without reams of rhythmic energy.

Members of the ODEON-Jugendsinfonieorchester and the Munich Philharmonic will take to the stage together to perform this gripping programme in celebration of the ODEON’s 20th anniversary.
