Trumpeter Pacho Flores, praised by The San Diego Union-Tribune for “unwavering solidity of tone and comfortably switching between popular and classical styles of playing,” returns to San Diego to perform Altar de bronce by Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz. Music Director Rafael Payare leads this brilliant program that includes Ravel’s tender Le tombeau de Couperin and whirling La valse, and concludes with the fantastical sonic tapestry created by Debussy’s Images.
