PROGRAM
"Spanish Accent"
Wilmington Symphony Orchestra's season finale has a Spanish accent, with Rodrigo's Concierto di Aranjuez (think "rich Carinthian leather") and the dramatic music from de Falla's ballet The Three Cornered Hat. Pre-concert commentary by conductor Steven Errante begins at 7:00 PM.
