Handel’s Messiah returns to the RCO after over two decades in a Spanish translation as we highlight Easter selections from El Mesías: Messiah for a New World. A chamber orchestration of Gershwin’s infectious Havana-inspired Cuban Overture and Piazzolla’s fresh tango-jazz-classical Sinfonietta fill out this program influenced by Latin connections.​Kelly Kuo, conductorGerardo de la Torre, baritoneZulimar López-Hernández,  sopranoGenaro Mendez, tenor GEORGE GERSHWIN (arr.
