Robert Moody makes his PSO debut as Music Director Designate with this sizzling program featuring music with a South American flavor, including works by “tango king” Astor Piazzolla, music from Bizet's sultry opera Carmen, and the fascinating “Rumba Sinfonica,” fusing the urban rhythms of past and present Cuban music with the sophisticated sounds of a symphony orchestra.

Generous underwriting support for this concert has been provided by Mr. and Mrs. James D. Konkel

* Rumba Sinfonica was co-commissioned by Minnesota Orchestra, Detroit Symphony, Festival of the Arts Boca and Ravinia Festival
