The hypnotic rhythms of Ravel’s Boléro will be featured on the New West Symphony’s Masterpiece Series concerts this weekend. Concertmaster Danielle Belen is soloist for the program that also includes Ravel’s gypsy-like Tzigane for Violin & Orchestra, Saint-Saéns’ Introduction & Rondo Capriccioso in A Minor for Violin & Orchestra and his Symphony No. 2 in A Minor, and Dukas’ well-known, rambunctious The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.
Join fellow ticket holders one hour prior to the performance for a free, 30-minute pre-concert talk at 7:00 pm.
The concert will also take place Friday, January 24, 2014 at 8:00 pm at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center, and on Sunday, January 26 at 4:00 pm at Barnum Hall in Santa Monica.
