Although hobbled by two incomplete and rocky transitions — of state governors and artistic directors — the Jalisco Philharmonic Orchestra has embarked on its first season of 2013.
And if anything could chase away the clouds of uncertainty, it was the sunny smiles of JPO General Manager Arturo Gómez and U.S. conductor Leslie Dunner as they announced the season, which focuses on Wagner and Verdi, and this weekend’s opening program, directed by Dunner, which celebrates the founding of Guadalajara 461 years ago.
