The collaboration of images and instrumental music pieces will carry the audience through vibrant views of both the landscapes and people of Mexico throughout this performance.

“We are thrilled to have wonderful Principals of our string section, Dustin Budish on viola and Peter Lenz on the cello. Peter is our main soloist in this piece and Dustin will be right behind him playing the role of Don Quixote’s partner and friend who joins him on his journeys,” said Jackson.
During the second half of this performance, the audience will travel with the orchestra through Mexico as beautiful scenes are displayed by Bardonnay’s photography, while hearing sounds of the most frequently performed Mexican orchestral works by Revueltas, Marquez, and Copland.
