Program

We open the season with a visit from one of the great trumpet soloists of our time, the Venezuelan Pacho Flores.Admirers follow his concerts passionately across the globe and it is a true privilege to have him collaborate with us in this performance of two spectacular, virtuoso pieces: one by his compatriot Castro d’Addona and another by the Swede Lindberg, a maestro of brass instruments (he is himself an outstanding trombonist), with influences from jazz and popular music.

And we continue to bring to light the historical heritage held in our archives with arrangements of great symphonic works, revising them and proudly opening their pages once again on our music stands, works like the intense and emotional “Death and Transfiguration” which had such a profound effect on none other than Richard Strauss when her heard our Band play its own interpretation in 1925.
