One of the audience favorites from UMS’s 23/24 season was the UMS debut of México’s Orquesta Sinfónica de Minería, led by the dynamic conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto. The sheer exuberance and palpable joy from the musicians were felt throughout the audience, which remained on its feet long after the performance ended, cheering for more.

We’re delighted to bring the orchestra back to Hill Auditorium, this time with dynamic trumpet soloist Pacho Flores, who performs two different works for trumpet and orchestra, including Paquito D’Rivera’s Latin Grammy Award-winning Venezuelan Concerto. Born in Venezuela and growing up in the country’s famous El Sistema program, Flores makes his UMS debut in this concert, which features rarely heard orchestral works by leading composers from the Americas.
