Latin America comes to Liverpool

Pacho Flores joins the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic for a performance of Stravinsky's Petrushka alongside music by Moncayo & Sarasate, and a new trumpet concerto by Daniel Freiberg.

Venezuelan trumpet sensation Pacho Flores joins the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and conductor Domingo Hindoyan for a concert including Stravinsky's Petrushka alongside music by Moncayo and Sarasate, plus the UK premiere of a trumpet concerto by Daniel Freiberg.

Whenever trumpeter Pacho Flores comes to Liverpool, things tend to catch fire! In carnival season, conductor Domingo Hindoyan throws caution to the wind: expect Latin rhythms, Russian colours and Pacho鈥檚 own brand of pyrotechnics to light up the sky. This programme features showpieces left, right and centre: there's a lively Mexican folk dance; a Stravinsky ballet bursting with energy and colour; a virtuosic set of Gypsy Airs, and as the grand finale, the UK premiere of Daniel Freiberg鈥檚 trumpet concerto - "Historias de flores y tangos".

Recorded on 20th February 2025 at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.

Presented by Penny Gore.
