The highly acclaimed Mariachi Acero de Las Vegas ensemble joins the DuPage Symphony Orchestra for a colorful and exuberant program, showcasing the flourishing musical tradition of mariachi, which is deeply rooted in Mexican popular culture of the 19th and 20th centuries. Orchestral works by Márquez, Moncayo, and more, ensemble works by the Mariachi Acero artists alone, and fusion pieces by major Mexican and Latin American composers – specially arranged for symphony orchestra and Mariachi Acero – guarantee an unforgettable concert experience! Join us as the Wentz Hall stage comes alive with the vibrant rhythms, poignant lyrics, and rich instrumental timbres of the Mexican son, with its distinctive blend of Spanish, African, and indigenous musical influences. And yes, our guest musicians will don their festive charro outfits! Don’t miss this very special collaboration between Mariachi Acero and the DuPage Symphony Orchestra, right here in downtown Naperville. The Young Artists Audition winner will also perform!This program is supported in part by a “Big Read” project grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. “Big Read” activities, focusing on the classic work by Sandra Cisneros, The House on Mango Street, take place in conjunction with the Wheaton Public Library during February and March, 2026.
