Mexico's Bicentennial
"My friends and countrymen: the king exists for us no longer...The moment of our freedom has arrived, the hour of our liberty has struck." Those words marked Mexico's declaration of independence from Spain exactly 200 years ago. Today and tomorrow, PT is celebrating Mexico's bicentennial. We're featuring performances of Mexican music, by two Mexican conductors, and a Mexican symphony orchestra.
