This concert will give us a series of South American flavors. George Gershwin’s Cuban Overture was inspired by the composer’s experience of a two-week holiday in Havana, Cuba. It is a rich and exciting work with Caribbean rhythms and native Cuban percussion, as with Gershwin’s other instrumental works, rich in colors and technique.

The musical WEST SIDE STORY, composed by the Broadway choreographer, composer and conductor, Leonard Bernstein, is based on Shakespeare’s famous love tragedy ROMEO AND JULIET, This Musical depicts the story of two young boys and girls who fall in love with each other but are in rival groups, and how they cross the gap between them, only to fail miserably. The musical is set in the Puerto Rican immigrant community where Latino-American immigrants engaged in frequent conflicts.

Ginestra was an Argentine composer and is considered one of the most important 20th century South American composers. PANAMBI and ESTANCIA are two of his ballet works. His works often incorporate themes from Argentine folk music, and the exhilarating rhythmic energy, captivating lyricism and hallucinatory atmosphere are some of the characteristics of his musical style.

本场音乐会为大家带来一系列充满南美洲风情曲目，乔治·格什温的《古巴序曲》的创作灵感来源作曲家在古巴哈瓦那度假两周的经历。它以加勒比海的节奏和古巴本土的打击乐为主，一如格什温的其他器乐作品，色彩和技巧都很丰富，是一部丰富而令人兴奋的作品。

由百老汇编舞家和作曲家、指挥家伯恩斯坦作曲的音乐剧《西区故事》内容改编自莎士比亚著名的爱情悲剧《罗密欧与朱丽叶》，描写两位相互爱恋，却身处敌对团体的少男少女如何跨出两者间的鸿沟，却又不幸失败的故事，但故事背景被设定在冲突不断的拉丁美裔移民聚集的波多黎各移民社区。

吉纳斯特拉是阿根廷作曲家，也被认为是最为重要的20世纪南美洲作曲家之一。《帕纳姆比》和《南美大牧场》是他的两部芭蕾作品。他的作品经常融合阿根廷民间音乐的主题，令人振奋的节奏、迷人的抒情和梦幻般的气氛是他音乐风格的特点。
