The concert starts with an all dance inspired concert, which includes Strauss’ Kaiser Waltz, de Falla’s Ritual Fire Dance, Fauré’s Pavane, Brahms’ Hungarian Dance No.5, and Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of the Flowers. The second part of the concert features a program that empowers life. The Magic Flute’s overture by Mozart opens in a mysterious and solemn atmosphere, a conception of life throughout the freemasonic spirit that Mozart embraced. Les Préludes by Franz Liszt, based on a poem by Lamartine, brings us the transformation of one theme through many aspects of life: love, country life, and war. Danzón No.2 by Márquez ends the concert with an ode to life.
