Simply put, this event can only be described as the Concert of the Century!  To celebrate the city of McAllen’s 100th Anniversary, Maestro Dabrowski has put together a program that captures the quintessence of the Valley and the spirit of those who call it home.  The Choral Finale of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, with the “Ode to Joy,” is at once probably the most popular and the most sublime music ever written.  Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, with Houston-based pianist Kris Becker, captures the sprit of the Valley.  And Ravel’s hypnotic Bolero is a showpiece tailor-made for the virtuoso musicians of the VSO!  It all adds up to an extraordinary concert event that you won’t want to miss!
