About this Performance

Gustavo Dudamel calls her “one of the most talented composers in the world” (NPR) and places her music among “the most brilliant I have ever directed.” Gabriela Ortiz, this season’s Pan-American Music Initiative curator, presents her brand-new ballet score named after Mexico City’s 2019 “Glitter Revolution” where women took to the streets to protest sexual violence. Violinist Leticia Moreno, with her “fiery interpretation, exalted lyricism and expressivity” (El País), brings more from the dance hall to Walt Disney Concert Hall for Astor Piazzolla’s dramatic and nuevo tango-filled Four Seasons of Buenos Aires.
