Festival Orchestra

Alasdair Neale, Conductor

Jacomo Bairos, Conductor

Featuring Joachim Horsely, Piano

with Luca Alemanno (Bass), Yonathan "Morocho" Gavidia (Percussion), and Murphy Aucamp (Drums)

Conductor Jacomo Bairos returns to Sun Valley (he previously conducted The Villalobos Brothers in 2021) with a program inspired by Latin dance music. Co-Founder and Artistic Director of Miami’s Nu Deco Ensemble, Bairos is known for merging classical music with a wide range of styles, composers, and artists.  For Pops Night, Bairos has assembled a group including Joachim Horsley (piano), Luca Alemanno (Bass), Yonathan “Morocho” Gavidia (percussion), and Murphy Aucamp (drums).  Their program will feature jazzy takes on recognizable tunes as well as impossible-to-resist Latin dance songs that will have you tapping your feet or perhaps dancing in the aisles (and on the lawn!).
