Through the lens of the Dominican composer, percussionist and educator Dante Cucurullo, the ADCA Symphony Orchestra celebrates its tenth anniversary and the 40 years of existence of the Association of Dominican Classical Artists. The concert is a tribute to Dominican music and will feature the premiere of a commissioned work to celebrate this special occasion. In addition, this is an important day for this program, as it falls on Dominican Independence Day.
