SUMMARY:A Latin Rhapsody
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by: \nKaren & Jim Atchison\nRobert & Joanna Cunningham\nLaura Lee Pattillo Norquist Foundation\n  \nScott Speck\, conductor\nAldo López-Gavilán\, pianist \nLeonard Bernstein    –    West Side Story: Symphonic Dances\n(1918-1990) \nArturo Márquez    –    Danzón No. 2*\nb. 1950 \nINTERMISSION \nGuido López-Gavilán    –    Guaguancó*\nb. 1944 \nGeorge Gershwin    –    Rhapsody in Blue\n(1898-1937)                  Aldo López-Gavilán \n  \nSpeck Speaks\nMusic Director Scott Speck Discusses the Concert: \n“We are thrilled to bring back Aldo Lopez-Gavilán. He’s one of the very few musicians today whose palpable delight in the togetherness of music-making reminds me of Yo-Yo Ma. Because Aldo is such a force of nature\, we’ve programmed this concert to play to his strengths. His rendition of Rhapsody in Blue has to be experienced to be believed; he channels George Gershwin’s spirit of improvisation in a way that few concert pianists can accomplish. Speaking of improv\, we will also have the opportunity to hear Aldo improvise at the piano\, creating a mini musical masterpiece in the moment\, on the Saenger stage.  \nAldo\, who lives in Havana\, truly comes from Cuban musical royalty. His father is a major composer; his mother is a concert pianist; his brother has graced our stage in Mobile as a violinist in the Harlem Quartet; and his sister is a conductor. So it’s only natural that — in addition to Rhapsody in Blue and Aldo’s improvisation — this concert includes an orchestral showstopper by his father Guido. Plus a fantasy on Cuban rhythms by the Mexican composer Arturo Márquez. Oh\, and did we mention West Side Story?” – Scott Speck \n\n*The presentation of this work is made possible by a generous donation to MSO’s Symphonic Innovations Fund\n  \n
