MARCH 4, 5, & 6, 2022 Friday & Saturday 7:30 p.m. Sunday Matinee 2:30 p.m. VSO celebrates with “Dances of the Americas” The dance hall meets the concert hall as the Valley Symphony Orchestra (VSO) announces the next concert in its 70th anniversary season with “Dances of the Americas,” a musical celebration of dance rhythms from across the U.S. and Latin America. The concert will be held at 8 p.m. on Friday, February 25 at the McAllen Performing Arts Center. The evening’s program will be led by Maestro Peter Dabrowski, who says the audience should prepare to tap their toes and feel the rhythm. “There is no greater music than music made for dancing,” Dabrowski said. “This concert is carried by passion and rhythm - two things that dancers and musicians have in common.” Special soloist for the evening is Dr. Melissa Vaughan on clarinet. Vaughan holds a DMA in clarinet from Arizona State University and has music degrees from the Eastman School of Music and Baylor University. She has performed in various recitals, orchestras and chamber groups across the United States and Belgium. Vaughan’s performance is made possible through generous sponsorship from Frost Bank. The concert program includes “Serenata,” a Pops classic composed by Leroy Anderson in 1947, “The Carousel Waltz” one of the greatest symphonic waltzes composed by Richard Rodgers and arranged by Don Walker in 1945, and “Chaconne in E minor,” a classic string piece orchestrated by Carlos Chavez and composed by Dietrich Buxtehude in 1875. Another piece featured is “Popurri de Perez Prado,” an upbeat favorite composed by Eugenio Toussaint and inspired by a suite of mambos composed by bandleader Perez Prado, known as the “King of the Mambo” from 1916 to 1989. “ P r e l u d e , Fugue, and Riffs,” by Leonard Bernstein is a “jazzin-concert-hall” c omp o s i t i o n created in 1949 which features Vaughan’s solo. “Libertango,” another featured piece is one of the most w e l l - k n o w n tangos in the world. It was composed by Astor Piazzolla and James Kazik in 1974. The last piece of the evening is “A Salute to the Big Bands” arranged by Calvin Custer in 1995. The arrangement features plenty of favorites from the big band era, such as melodies from Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman. Katy Coy, executive director for VSO, said concerts like “Dances of the Americas” would not be possible without the generous support of community partners. “We are pleased to continue our 70th anniversary celebrations with this concert, generously supported by a number of community partners including the City of McAllen, South Texas Health System, and Frost Bank,” she said. Tickets are on sale now for this concert and all VSO spring events.
