Last weekend’s @Infloresce & Friends featured an opening set of piano-centric and classical-inspired music, curated by @Promtastik.
It was a wonderful experience and inspired me to listen to some of my favorite orchestral pieces again. 💕
Several years ago, I fell in love with Danzón No. 2 by Arturo Márquez after seeing a video of Alondra de la Parra conducting a rehearsal of it. (She is incredibly charming and I recommend watching videos of her conducting to feel inspired!)
Composed in 1994, Danzón No. 2 is one of the most popular contemporary classical pieces from Mexico.
Soaring melodies, catchy rhythms, exciting tempo changes – it’s completely enthralling from start to finish.
