He takes the podium together with the soloist Pacho Flores, who is regarded as one of the world's foremost trumpeters. Both have their musical background in El Sistema – Venezuela's programme for children's and youth orchestras, which gives a sense of achievement and community to young people in vulnerable life situations. Tonight's programme ranges from Latin American vitality to virtuosic European Romanticism, with works that combine rhythmic power, melodic brilliance and colourful orchestral sonorities.
