The orchestra will also celebrate the many colors of world music, including a Brazilian celebration for the 130th birthday of composer Villa-Lobos, a concert of Russian folk songs dedicated to the members of the Red Army Choir, a joint Ladino-style mandolin concert with the Israeli Plectrum Orchestra and the Israel Chamber Orchestra, plus, in honor of Argentinean Independence Day, a concert of renowned pieces by Ramirez and Piazzolla.
