Let’s listen to classical music in the Historic Center this weekend! Enjoy a concert with music by Mozart in Mexico City’s Zócalo. Beethoven’s music will also be performed.
As part of the Chess Festival and the program Cuícatl: the city that sounds, the Philharmonic Orchestra of the CDMX will offer two free concerts in Mexico City’s Zócalo. In each one, different themes will be performed. Write down the details so you don’t miss them.
What time will the concert with Mozart’s music be at the CDMX’s Zócalo?
The first concert will take place at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, July 20. During this presentation, pieces by Malcolm Arnold, Ludwig Van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Juventino Rosas will be performed. One of the pieces you will hear is the Waltz on the Waves.
