Orquesta Nacional Juvenil de Uruguay – Sodre

About the concert

This concert brings a thoroughly Latin American flavour to the 2022 programme of Young Euro Classic: for the first time, the National Youth Orchestra of Uruguay comes to the Konzerthaus in Berlin – presenting a colourful bouquet of breath-taking works from the American continent. This begins with Huapango, the secret Mexican national anthem, continues with the folkloristic, fiery suite Estancia by the Argentine Alberto Ginastera, and does not stop with the famous tangos of Carlos Gardel and Astor Piazzolla. In addition, Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev’s Sinfonie Nr. 1 will be performed. The Uruguayan guests also bring special gift for their hosts: a world premiere with the title The Road to Bremen – it will be a surprise to see what inspired composer Sergio Cervetti!
