Our city’s most talented orchestras, choirs, and ensembles will present memorable performances where you can enjoy pieces by iconic composers. Best of all, they’ll take place in stunning venues such as the Palacio de Bellas Artes, Chapultepec Castle, and even the Cenart. Mark your calendars!
The Chamber Orchestra, Choral Groups, and Ensembles of the Escuela Superior de Música will perform a program that blends symphonic compositions from Mexico and Korea. Under the direction of Jeong Rim Lee, the musicians will perform a repertoire that includes “Arirang Fantasy,” “Danzón No. 2,” “Arirang Chorus,” and “La Sandunga Chorus.”
A string quartet will perform a musical duel between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven by the light of thousands of candles. The program will feature classic works by both composers, from the Turkish March and Symphony No. 40 to Für Elise and the iconic Symphony No. 5.
Attendees will hear this instrumental repertoire at the majestic Chapultepec Castle.
The Philharmonic of the Arts will present an orchestral and staged version of “The Magic Flute,” the last work Mozart composed before his death. Under the baton of conductor E. Abraham Vélez Godoy, the musicians will bring to life the adventures of Prince Tamino, who must overcome various trials and face fantastical characters to rescue Princess Pamina.
To complement the narrative of this iconic opera, the instrumental ensemble will be joined by the Coro de las Artes, as well as the Danza and Teatro de las Artes companies. The fusion of these groups will bring to life the story and composition of one of the most representative pieces in the classical repertoire.
