About
On Saturday, May 22, 2027, the Philharmonie de Paris hosts a unique musical encounter featuring conductor Alondra de la Parra and singer-songwriter Natalia Lafourcade. Joined by the Orquesta de la Comunidad de Madrid, they deliver a vibrant program ranging from Mexican classics like Moncayo's Huapango to the contemporary works of Gabriela Ortiz. This concert, which runs from 20:00 to 21:40, is open to attendees aged 12 and over. It offers an exceptional opportunity to experience the depth of Latin musical heritage through orchestral power and vocal artistry in a professional setting.
Artistic director of the Orquesta de la Comunidad de Madrid, Alondra de la Parra has established herself as one of the most charismatic conductors of her generation. Her particularly festive programme begins with Huapango by José Moncayo, a national classic. After La reina roja by Gabriela Ortiz, an internationally recognized Mexican composer, comes the sound of Sensemayá by Revueltas, an incantatory work rich in percussion, typical of its author's obsessive rhythms. The concert ends with the Suite taken from Natalia Lafourcade's tenth studio album, De Todas las Flores, which won a Grammy Award in 2024. Praised by critics for its "emotion," it blends various Latin music genres, such as bolero, samba, or bossa nova.
