SALUTING SPRING WITH SYMPHONY & DANCE
By Jackie Peterson
A “concert season” of sorts is already under way at the Angela Peralta Theater — but it’s not too late to take advantage of the bargain you get when you buy a season ticket for the remaining concerts. The Spring Season, with the full Sinaloa Orchestra for the Arts and some of its musicians as soloists, began on March 19 with clarinetist Jacob DeVries in the spotlight. The second concert, on May 14, will have Aigul Kolova as soloist in a Concert for Piano and Orchestra with a varied classical and contemporary program by such composers as Chopin, Antonin, Aaron and the Sinaloan Eduardo Gamboa. The third event in the series is set for June 5, with the participation of Pavel Meza in a Concert for Guitar and Orchestra featuring Sinaloan soloists. Compositions by Manuel M. Ponce and Kurt Weil (with a suite from the Threepenny Opera) will be on the program. A season ticket costs 150 pesos, while tickets for individual concerts go for 120 pesos each. Prices were deliberately set to encourage music lovers to attend at least two of the three, if not all three concerts. All performances take place at 8:00 p.m. in the Angela Peralta Theater. Meanwhile, during Holy Week and Easter Week the staff of the theater goes on vacation. The only performances during the month of April take place in its last week when the 18th annual Jose Limon International Dance Festival returns to Mazatlán. The festival is named in honor of the late and legendary dancer who was a native of Culiacán. All performances, with the two exceptions mentioned below, take place at 8:00 p.m. in the Angela Peralta Theater on the dates specified. Admission tickets are 100 pesos per show.
