Fresh off conducting Bad Bunny’s 2026 Super Bowl performance, conductor Giancarlo Guerrero leads the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in a concert of music by Latin American luminaries featuring trumpeter Pacho Flores performing at 8 pm on April 23 and 25 at Atlanta Symphony Hall. Before the concerts, the Orchestra hosts Fiesta Sinfónica—a free, vibrant festival of Latin culture on campus at the Woodruff Arts Center.

Six-time GRAMMY® Award-Winning conductor Giancarlo Guerrero leads the Orchestra through a sonic landscape of Central, South American and Afro-Caribbean works from composers Roberto Sierra, Piazzolla, and Revueltas, among others. Maestro Guerrero, praised for producing “an energetic, urgent, even wild intensity from the orchestra” (Opera Wire), welcomes trumpeter Pacho Flores, with whom he recently collaborated in a similar program at the Grant Park Music Festival in Chicago, where Guerrero serves as Artistic Director and Principal Conductor.

The charismatic Venezuelan trumpeter, Pacho Flores, performs Márquez’s Concierto de Otoño and his own composition, Morocota, based on a gold coin that became currency in a newly sovereign Venezuela in 1845. Flores, who won First Prize in the “Maurice André” International Contest, the most renowned trumpet contest in the world, describes Morocota as “a simple and pleasant ‘delicate waltz’.”

Before the evening concerts, a free festival titled Fiesta Sinfónica is being held from 6 to 8pm in the Azadi Galleria, celebrating Latin American culture. The festival features food, music, jewelry, arts and more from local vendors representing the Latin diaspora.
