Vista Philharmonic Orchestra – Music Without Boundaries

Vista Philharmonic Orchestra will perform Music Without Boundaries at the Groton Hill Music Center on Sat, Feb 8 at 7:30pm.

An evening of evocative impressions of Latin America with works from three composers you’ll recognize and one they are proud to introduce this season. Venezuelan / American composer and cellist Paul Desenne, who passed away in 2023 at age 63, was a founding member of the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra and resident composer for El Sistema. His 2013 Concerto for 2 Flutes will feature Robert Langevin, Principal Flute of the New York Philharmonic, and Marco Granados, one of the world’s leading flutists in Latin American music. The program opens with a lyrical, edgy work by Argentine tango composer Astor Piazzolla, followed by Heitor Villa-Lobos’ Bach-inspired representations of Brazilian life. They will finish the evening with American icon Aaron Copland, who infused Mexican folk music into his rousing work.
