Prepare to dance the night away with an incredible lineup of works inspired by dance music. A universal language, dancing is taken up by every culture in the world. What type of dance would most represent Columbus as we greet Mexico, France, and Germany? Born in 1950, Mexican composer Arturo Márquez
wrote great music for the orchestra that incorporated the musical language of his native land. Danzón № 2 is one of his most popular works and features the percussion section of the CSO with incredible colors and rhythmic energy. First the CSO will present four Hungarian Dances by Johannes Brahms followed by the ecstatic Dance Bacchanale from Saint-Saëns' opera Samson and Delilah. This concert will also feature our second 2025 youth concerto competition winner, Nino Akhalaya, on violin.
