a.m. San Miguel/ staff report
As every year this musical event takes place in the canyon of El Charco del Ingenio, an amazing natural sculpted space, carved by nature in stone over time immemorial. Since its inception 16 years ago, the concert in the canyon has been a collective celebration of life, with an ever growing and enthusiastic audience and always with the presentation of artists and groups of very high quality and various musical expressions.
This year we will celebrate this great feast of the Earth in the Botanical Garden with a concert of winds, by the ensemble METALES M5 / MEXICAN BRASS, with pieces by contemporary composers ((Kevin McKee, Maurice Green, Paul Dukas, Samuel Barber, Ken Bichel, Michael Kamen y E. Humperdinck) in original combination with baroque composers ((Handel, Mozart, Bach y Gabrieli).
This great ensemble has impressed a wide audience of all ages and musical tastes, playing hundreds of concerts with baroque music, contemporary, opera, musical comedy, blues, folk, film and music from around the world. In their presentations, all 5 musicians, who have classical training, mix the familiar with the unexpected – surprising, and always entertaining virtuosity. Their chamber music skills are at a high level, their stage show captivating, the audience interaction and their charisma convert the concert into a music-theater show. With its warm sound and joy, M5 has achieved recognition and respect of audiences and critics in different countries. Information: charcodelingenioc
Tels. (415) 154.4715 y 154.8838
We recommend purchasing tickets in advance (to avoid long line-ups) at the Garden’s Reception area, Posada Corazon (Aldama 9) and at the Camino Silvestre stores (Correo 43 and Zacateros 46).
Before the concert at 4:30 there will be a Spring Equinox Ceremony in the Plaza of the Four Winds led by Alicia Mayo.
