KWS Masterworks 3: Folk Dances

Feb 13, 2027 7:30 PM Centre in the Square
Live Music Concert

Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony celebrates its Masterworks Series with Folk Dances, a vibrant program inspired by rhythm, movement, and musical traditions from around the world. Led by conductor Cosette Justo Valdés, the concert opens with the colour and flair of Ravel’s Alborada del gracioso before moving into Kodály’s spirited Dances of Galánta. Violinist Erika Raum joins the orchestra for Bartók’s Rhapsody No. 1 and Rhapsody No. 2, works filled with folk-inspired melodies and fiery energy. The program also features Amadeo Roldán’s La Rebambaramba and selections from Manuel de Falla’s The Three-Cornered Hat, bringing bold orchestral colour and dance-driven excitement to the stage. Lively, expressive, and full of character, Folk Dances is a celebration of music in motion.
