Power Concert: Americana: Copland & Barber

Roberto Minczuk Music Director

The New Mexico Philharmonic’s Power Concerts series is back for another season of illuminating, affordable, family-friendly concerts! This series is geared toward introducing young audience members and their families to classical music, the orchestra, and the instruments that make it all possible. We close out the Power Concert Series with an afternoon of American music! First off, the NMPhil’s show stopping string section is on full display in Samuel Barber’s poignant and profound Adagio for Strings. Next up, two masterpieces from Aaron Copland, who many would declare the face of the American music movement: The orchestra sparkles in Copland’s Suite from Billy the Kid and the composer’s take on Mexican folk music in El Salón México.

Music Director Roberto Minczuk conducts.
