Brilliant American violinist Tessa Lark, returns to the Lowcountry with JMR and the HHSO, to revel in Hispanic musical culture from both sides of the Atlantic. The concert features Piazzolla’s tango-infused “Four Seasons of Buenos Aires”, which riffs on themes from Vivaldi’s classic set of violin concerti, in a wild and evocative work of sensual passion. The program also presents the ebullient Symphony in D by J.C. Arriaga, the “Spanish Mozart”, a shooting star of musical genius, who composed this one symphony before his untimely death at 19. The brooding and vivacious “Danzon No.2”, by celebrated Mexican composer Arturo Marquez finishes the program.
