Una Rumba Sinfonica

The piece I'm proposing would incorporate the rhythmic techniques used in Cuban rumba, utilizing its language to move the orchestra into a fresh direction and beyond its normal boundaries. As a musician who plays both classical and Cuban music, I feel I have a unique understanding and experience to bring these two very distinct musical worlds together.
