Venezuelan conductor Andrés González takes us on a sonic journey across the Americas. In this program, which features the string section of the San Diego Symphony, you’ll hear some of the most iconic composers from Venezuela, Mexico and the United States. Folk melodies from Latin America and the United States bring these works together – from Jessie Montgomery’s delightful opener "Strum" to Juan Ramírez’s dance-like "Suite Latina."
