Qatar-Mexico Year of Culture: Sounds of Mexico

Presented as part of the Qatar-Mexico Year of Culture, Conductor Enrique Diemecke, whose recordings of Revueltas, Chávez, and Moncayo earned Mexico's Golden Record Award, leads the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra through an evening of colour and rhythm celebrating Mexican music. The programme opens with Márquez's Danzón No. 2, one of the most beloved orchestral works to come out of Latin America, alongside Chávez's Chacona and Galindo's spirited Sones de Mariachi. After the interval, Diemecke turns to Revueltas' Redes, a vivid, dramatic score from one of Mexico's most original musical voices. A rare chance to hear this repertoire led by a conductor who has made it his life's work.
