Rafael Payare and the San Diego Symphony Orchestra open the fifth summer season at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park with a delectable program fitting of the occasion. The evening opens with "Ginastera’s Four Dances" from Estancia, the final dance being the spirited “Malambo.” Wynton Marsalis – one of the greatest and most celebrated trumpet musicians of all time – created a trumpet concerto that will receive its San Diego debut, at the hands of trumpet extraordinaire Paul Merkelo. Dukas’ "The Sorcerer’s Apprentice" conjures the excitement and magic made famous by Disney’s Fantasia, and Debussy’s "La mer" brings a beautiful ode to the sea, a perfect selection for the waterfront venue.
