Pacho Flores launches residency with Duisburger Phiharmoniker

/18 December 2024

Pacho Flores joins the Duisburger Philharmoniker this week for two concerts marking the start of his season-long residency with the renowned German orchestra. Conducted by Alondra de la Parra, Pacho performs Paquito D'Rivera’s Concerto Venezolano - written for Pacho – as well as his own Cantos y Revueltas, in which he is joined by longtime collaborator Leo Rondón on the cuatro.

As part of his residency, Pacho gives an additional concert this week to local secondary school students. Music education is an important subject for Pacho, having received his own training as part of El Sistema in Venezuela, returning home regularly to teach and give masterclasses.

Pachos next performs in Duisburg in February, giving a concert with organist Carlos Paterson. The varied programme features Bach's cantata Wachet auf alongside a number of their own compositions.

He returns again in June, this time joining forces with guitarist Jesús 'Pingüino' González, with whom Pacho collaborated on the award-winning release ‘Entropía’. On the programme is a selection of works by Latin American composers, including Piazzolla, Fuentes, Martinez, Lecuona, and Jobim, as well as pieces by Pacho himself.
