A celebration of Mexican classical music | London Philharmonic Orchestra

*Please note a change of conductor and soloist from previously advertised.

As we celebrate the Year of Mexico in the UK in 2015, experience a dazzling programme of music that shows Mexican classical music is about so much more than just folklore and colour. Rather, it is an eclectic and sophisticated repertoire, spanning a broad spectrum of musical possibilities and embodying the spirit of Mexico in all its richness and diversity. Join the LPO and conductor Jaime Martín for an uplifting and illuminating evening of music which includes the slithering sounds of Revueltas’s Sensemayá, Ibarra’s ear-teasing Sinfonía No 2 and Márquez’s toe-tapping Danzón No 2 alongside a selection of popular songs from Mexico.

This concert is part of The Year of Mexico in the United Kingdom 2015.

Free pre-concert event: 6pm

LPO Soundworks, our dynamic cross-arts ensemble for young composers and instrumentalists, presents its first collaborative performance of the season, inspired by the hypnotic Mexican music in tonight's concert.
