Noche de romance

Boleros de Noche featuring Tres Souls & Trío Remembranza

Saturday, April 12

7:30 Concert: Boleros de Noche featuring Tres Souls & Trío Remembranza

9:30 Event: Noche de romance

Join the CSO Latino Alliance for Noche de romance and celebrate the enchanting sounds of bolero music, a genre that embodies the romance of Latin America. Tres Souls’ vintage sound is inspired by the golden era of Mexican cinema, and Puerto Rico’s Trío Remembranza puts its spin on trío romántico traditions.

In Grainger Ballroom, network with Latino Alliance members and connect with the artists directly after the concert.

Specially priced concert tickets start at $40 using promo code LASEASON. A separate ticket to attend the reception is free.

Your concert ticket pricing will be adjusted after you have added your seats to the order. When ordering your concert ticket, follow the prompts to add your free reception ticket to the order. A separate ticket to attend the Latino Alliance reception is free and required. For questions or assistance, contact Patron Services.

Cupcakes for Noche de romance are generously provided by Molly’s Cupcakes.

Conducting joy: memories of spending a magical day at a CSO for Kids concert

Ramiro J. Atristaín-Carrión says: “Volunteering at a CSO for Kids event is not just about assisting the children — it’s about inspiring the next generation of music lovers. Seeing the joy on children’s faces as they experience the power of music reminds us of why events like these are so important.”

“People are hungry for something more raw, something more real,” says Roberto Carlos of the bolero trio Tres Souls. That hunger, he thinks, helps to explain the spread of bolero music.
