Known for the dynamism and precision of his conducting, Maestro Juanjo Mena will lead the OSM in a program showcasing the harp. Driven by the distinctive rhythms of Argentinian dances, Ginastera’s Harp Concerto harnesses all the expressive potential of this elegant-sounding instrument. Debussy, meanwhile, gave full scope to his poetic imagination in the triptych Images, evoking, among others, the Spain of his imagination.

PIERNÉ, Ramuntcho: ‘‘Overture’’ (8 min.)
GINASTERA, Harp Concerto, op. 25 (25 min.)
DEBUSSY, Images, L. 122 (40 min.)
