CINCO DE MAYO with CCS
The Capital City Symphony
Victoria Gau, Music Director
~ Season Finale Concert ~
CINCO DE MAYO!
with guest artist Anamer Castrello, mezzo-soprano
Sunday, May 4 at 5pm
Copland, El Salon Mexico
Manuel de Falla, El amor brujo
Dvorak, Symphony No. 9 "New World"
All three of these pieces have strong folk influence. The Dvorak is rooted in Native American and African American folk music, and the de Falla is strongly influenced by the gypsy folklore of Andalusia. Neither, however, quotes pre-existing music. On the other hand, the Copland borrowed at least 9 Mexican folk tunes for this work, subtitled "Popular Type Dance Hall in Mexico City."

Atlas Performing Arts Center, 1333 H Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002
