It’s been almost three years since the world lost a Tejano music legend – Emilio Navaira. So many of us Tejanos have fond memories of his music playing in the background of our family gatherings, on the dance floor of weddings and quinceñeras, and in the car on family road trips. Honestly, I still listen to his music today but I never thought I’d hear it performed by the San Antonio Symphony. A Tribute to Emilio Navaira is happening, Queridos!
This week, Navaira’s music will continue to live on with the San Antonio Symphony and Guest conductor Troy Peters, music director of the Youth Orchestra of San Antonio. Peters will lead the Symphony in A Tribute to Emilio Navaira. Navaira’s own sons Diego and Emilio IV will sing and play alongside his original backing band members, Peters, and the Symphony. Highlights include favorites Bailando Contigo, ¿Donde Andará?, Cómo le haré, and It’s Not the End of the World, all arranged for orchestra by Troy Peters.
This special performance will be on Thursday, January 31, 8 PM at the Tobin Center. Get your tickets online at sasymphony.org.
