Few contemporary violin concertos have made a splash with audiences like Arturo Márquez’s Fandango, which won a 2024 Latin Grammy. Composed for Anne Akiko Meyers, this riotously colorful work is a salute to the Spanish dance form and its New World offshoots. Framing the program are Roberto Sierra’s contemporary meditation on two 18th-century fandangos and Elgar’s musical portraits of family and close friends — some tender, others gently mocking.
