Andrey Boreyko, Conductor
Mark Kosower, Cello

Romance, adventure and passion will fill Hilbert Circle Theatre in this Spanish-inspired night of music with conductor Andrey Boreyko and soloist Mark Kosower. Strauss’ tone poem Don Quixote brings to life and music the story of Cervantes’ unlikely hero and his bumbling adventures. Fall in love with De Falla’s 1916 ballet suite El amor brujo (“Bewitched Love”) and Ginastera’s masterful blending of indigenous and European classical music in selections from his 1941 ballet Estancia.

• The fully-titled novel, The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, regularly appears high on lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published and is widely regarded as one of the most significant literary works of the Spanish Golden Age.
• Described as “a virtuoso of staggering prowess” by The Plain Dealer, recital and concerto soloist Mark Kosower has served as principal cello of The Cleveland Orchestra since 2010.
