The magnificence of the Southwest landscape is portrayed in the Phoenix Symphony’s final classical concerts of the season. Conductor Thomas Wilkins leads the orchestra in Grofe’s cinematic Grand Canyon Suite, which offers five musical scenes of one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Wilkins also conducts Aaron Copland’s popular El Salón México, and Spanish violinist Francisco Fullana joins the orchestra for Fandango Violin Concerto, a mariachi-flavored work by contemporary Mexican composer Arturo Márquez.
