Enjoy the music of Latin American composers in the latest MusicaNova Orchestra-Harmony Project Phoenix collaboration, Música Sin Fronteras.

A 7 p.m. show on Saturday, May 6 will take place at South Mountain Community College, 7050 S. 24th St., Phoenix, followed by a 3 p.m. show Sunday, May 7 at Central Methodist Church, 1875 N. Central Ave., Phoenix.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door or in advance via musicanovaaz.org. Proceeds will help defray travel expenses for the Hermosillo Children’s Choir and fund scholarships for Harmony Project, Phoenix.

The concerts will feature three works by Arturo Marquez, the Sonoran-born Mexican composer, as well as pieces by Reynaldo Hanh of Venezuela, Astor Piazzola of Argentina, Oscar Lorenzo Fernandez of Brazil and Manuel de Falla of Spain.

MusicaNova, taking the stage in the first half of the concert, will perform Hahn’s 1910 ballet La Fete Chez Therese, the Tango and Ritual Fire Dance from de Falla’s El Amor Brujo (1914-1925), and Marquez’s most popular piece, Danzon No. 2 (1994).

The two orchestras will then combine forces in the second half, playing Piazzola’s Libertango (1974), Fernandez’s Batuque (1930) and Marquez’s Conga del Fuego (2005)

The concert is supported by grants from the Community Foundation of Arizona, Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture, the Arizona Commission on the Arts and Hannah’s Oboes.
