"I want to break down the barrier that usually exists between the orchestra and the audience, inviting them to feel part of the experience, to relax, to enjoy this music, and to see why it's so relevant. I'm going to give a very educational concert," said Juan Pablo Contreras , describing Sinfonía Mexicana , the program he will present this Saturday with the Orquesta Latino Mexicana at the Conjunto de Artes Escénicas.
