Orquesta Sinfónica de Minería: University Musical Society
Celebrated conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto leads this Mexico City–based symphony orchestra, widely regarded as the leading musical institution in Mexico, in a concert featuring orchestral works of the Americas, as well as Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto in E-flat major. Celebrated Venezuelan trumpet soloist Pacho Flores, known for his commanding technique, features in both the Haydn concerto and Paquito D’Rivera’s Grammy-winning Concerto Venezolano.
