DEREK BERMEL’S Mango Suite

May 19, 2019
Richardson Auditorium

Derek Bermel sits at a desk with staff paper strewn about, looking thoughtful. Based on the beloved coming-of-age novel The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, Derek Bermel’s Mango Suite re-tells the story of young protagonist Esperanza Cordero. Three stirring works by Spanish composer Manuel de Falla with special guest flamenco dancer Griset Damas Roche bring the PSO season to a thrilling conclusion.

“Derek Bermel is the quintessential 21st-century musician… staggering eclecticism from a true musical renaissance man.” – Gramophone Magazine
