Bringing together top musicians from various professional orchestras in Mexico, this ensemble performs a dazzling array of works that explore the rich cultural tapestry of Latin America, including a piece by Paquito d’Rivera which won them a Latin Grammy for Best Classical Composition. 8 p.m. Jan. 29 at Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall.
OC Spring Festival Gala: Festive Feast 2026

Making Peace with the Earth
Artist Ann Phong presents a deeply personal and environmentally-driven body of work shaped by a life lived across continents.
