The Patio de los Naranjos welcomed the 180 music lovers who became co-stars of this significant event for symphonic music and concert activity in our state.
The experience of this new normal began with a sanitary filter located at the entrance of the enclosure where the temperature of the attendees was checked, antibacterial gel was distributed, and a record was made of all the people who entered. The audience took their seats placed two meters apart.
Then came the time for the music to do its job, filling the space with musical notes to the delight of the audience, who enjoyed the presence of Haendel with the Concerto Grosso Op.6, followed by the popular Canon for Strings by Pachelbel. The evening continued with Sarrier's Symphony in D, and then ended this presentation with Mozart's Symphony No. 29, one of the best known of his early symphonies.
Under the baton of Jesús Medina, its director, the Orchestra shone in all its splendor in a season and in a new stage that they live as a group, with the idea of offering a quality product and being close to their audience.
The OFJ offered distance concerts through the group's social networks and the Jalisco Secretariat of Culture and on Jalisco TV, and was broadcast live on these channels, as will the following scheduled for May 13 and 20.
