Open Call: Orchestra, Grand Concert for Brotherhood 2027

Vibra Clásica

This year we celebrate those who make the music. For its seventh edition, the Grand Concert for Brotherhood presents Edward Elgar’s The Music Makers: a work that honors the importance, the gift and the power of those who share music with humanity. It is this year’s invitation and also a tribute to every musician who makes this gathering possible.

Alongside it, a gem by Gioachino Rossini, the William Tell Overture, which will showcase the work of the new Grand Concert Festival. All under the baton of Alejandra Urrutia.

New in 2027: Grand Concert Festival

For the first time, the concert is the heart of a week-long festival. Great guest musicians, principal chairs from orchestras in Mexico, Germany, the United States and Australia, will work with the orchestra in sectional rehearsals, workshops and master classes, and will play alongside us in the concert.
