ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Mercury Chamber Orchestra presents Baroque to Boleros: Songs from Latin America at Miller Outdoor Theatre, an electrifying musical journey that bridges centuries of sound and tradition.
Featuring Houston-based mezzo-soprano Cecilia Duarte, the program travels from the lively rhythms and elegant dances of the Baroque era to the passionate, instantly recognizable boleros of the 20th century, celebrating the depth and diversity of Latin American musical heritage.
Under the direction of Artistic Director Antoine Plante, Mercury brings these works to life using historical performance practice, creating an immersive and vibrant sound. Joined by Mercury’s core ensemble of strings, percussion, and guitar, Duarte’s expressive voice anchors a program filled with warmth, romance, and rhythmic vitality.
Designed for audiences of all ages, Baroque to Boleros offers an accessible and engaging open-air concert experience – one that reflects Houston’s rich cultural landscape and Mercury’s mission to connect communities through exciting, world-class music.
The mission of the Mercury Chamber Orchestra is to serve the community by celebrating the power of music – Baroque and beyond – through teaching, sharing and performing with passion, intimacy and excellence.
