This program features his famed Fandango Quintet for Guitar and Strings and his Symphony La Casa del Diavolo. Also on the program is Boccherini’s Night Music in the Streets of Madri, a brilliant thematic work depicting the sounds of Madrid such as church bells, blind beggars, soldier’s drums, and night watchmen on patrol.
