June 17, 2019 – Denver, CO – In homage to the “Queen of Tejano Music,” the Colorado Symphony under the direction of resident conductor Christopher Dragon and in partnership with the Mexican Cultural Center, brings the iconic music of Selena Quintanilla to life in a way audiences have never heard it before: backed by a full, world-class symphony orchestra and featuring sensational soloist Isabel Sánchez at Boettcher Concert Hall on October 12, 2019.
