The Phoenix Symphony Orchestra to pay tribute to Selena
March 28
The Phoenix Symphony Orchestra will pay tribute to the music of Tex-Mex music superstar Selena, who was gunned down as her fame was skyrocketing. More than 30 years after her death, her music remains popular.
Vocalist Isabel Marie Sanchez will sing Selena’s hits accompanied by the orchestra. Sanchez was named the 2017 Tejano Music Awards Best New Female Artist and received nominations in three categories in the 2018 Tejano Music Awards. Sanchez currently works with producer Abraham Quintanilla Jr., Selena’s father. Sanchez joined “Horizonte” to tell us more about the upcoming performance and what it means for her to be part of this performance.
