LETICIA MORENO GIVES THE WORLD PREMIERE OF AURORA, A NEW VIOLIN CONCERTO BY JIMMY LÓPEZ
Leticia Moreno gives the world premiere performances of Jimmy López’s Aurora with Houston Symphony on 3, 4 and 5 May at Jones Hall, conducted by Andrés Orozco-Estrada.
The new violin concerto, commissioned by Houston Symphony and dedicated to Leticia Moreno, is inspired by the Northern Lights with each of its three movements paying homage to a different kind of aurora. The composer describes the music as “trying to transform waves of light into waves of sound and envelope the audience with those sounds,” so that the phenomenon and feast for the eyes that is an aurora can be experienced through sound.
Leticia Moreno and Jimmy López collaborated intensively on the composition process. The composer writes:
“Leticia did not limit herself to performing the piece; she helped me shape it. Thanks to her, the concerto is richer, more challenging and more idiomatically written for the violin than it was before. When she steps on stage, she will own the concerto in a way that is only possible when a performer premieres a work in cooperation with a living composer. Be prepared because I have no doubts Leticia will bring the house down!”
