State Symphony Orchestra of Mexico - Hispanic Classics Flavor a New York Debut - New York

The first New York appearance by the State Symphony Orchestra of Mexico had all the makings of an occasion. Enrique Bátiz, an estimable maestro and the orchestra’s founder, conducted on Sunday afternoon at the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts in the Bronx. The program featured a promising mix of European, Mexican and American classics, and a noteworthy soloist, the Mexican guitarist Alfonso Moreno.

But even before a note had been played, the concert got off to an awkward start. Eva Bornstein, the executive director of the center, told the audience that the soul singer Brian McKnight and the salsa artist Tito Nieves had drawn a capacity crowd on Saturday night, but that this concert, by a prestigious orchestra, had done considerably less well.”*
