Who Put Mariachi Trumpets in a Country Song?

Artistic Director and Conductor for the Cape Symphony Jung-Ho Pak has worked with world class artists like Yo-Yo Ma and James Taylor, and has conducted orchestras around the world.

He thinks that every person deserves a chance at experiencing beauty and joy. He thinks that a symphony can be as loved as a pennant winning baseball team, as customer oriented as a first class hotel, as fun as a giant amusement park, and as entrepreneurial as a high tech, start-up company. And he thinks that audiences want one thing: to experience something unforgettable.

Have you ever wondered what a Maestro listens to to prepare for upcoming performances? Jung-Ho Pak has shared one of his picks for his upcoming performances!

Maestro Pick: Ring of Fire

I’ve had the distinct privilege of sharing the stage with Mr. Cash performing this song. It was a thrilling experience, and the main thing I’ll never forget was how humble he was. He treated us with the utmost respect and even deference. His voice was more than a singer’s voice; it was a story teller’s instrument. This song is so unique because it has those Mariachi trumpets punctuated throughout the song. I don’t how they became the signature hook, but I’m sure it’s another fun tale.

Meet me at the Cape Symphony’s trip down South, featuring the music of Country Legends on February 20 & 21.
