Miguel Harth-Bedoya, conductor
Richard Lin, violin

Emmy Award-winning and Grammy-nominated conductor Miguel Harth-Bedoya leads the orchestra in Ravel’s evocative Daphnis and Chloe Suite No. 2 and the composer’s glittering La Valse, two musical triumphs by one of the most accomplished orchestrators of all time. Violinist Richard Lin is soloist in Lalo’s Symphonie Espagnole, a fabulous showpiece by a French composer, sprinkled with Spanish flavor. Brazilian composer Clarice Assad’s Bonecos de Olinda, inspired by the massive papier-mâché puppets used during annual Carnival parades, completes the program.
