Arthur & Lucas Jussen Youth Orchestra of Bahia Spirit of South America
Theater und Philharmonie Essen, Alfried Krupp Saal (Essen)
When Ricardo Castro conducts the Youth Orchestra of Bahia, one recalls the performances of the Simón Bolívar Orchestra under Gustavo Dudamel. Inspired by "El Sistema," Castro brought the Venezuelan music program to Brazil in 2007, creating NEOJIBA. The youth orchestra performs Latin American music worldwide, including Antônio Carlos Gomes's "Alvorada." The Dutch brothers Arthur and Lucas Jussen play "Nazareno." After Bernstein's dances from "West Side Story," there will be no stopping. A child-friendly introduction is available.
