This weekend, The Florida Orchestra kicks off its 2009-2010 season with a masterworks concert of fiery Latin sounds – Rhythms on Fire.

TFO is joined by two internationally-recognized mega-talents for the program: Cuban native classical guitarist Manuel Barrueco, who’s been composing, recording and performing for more than three decades; and bandoneón master Daniel Binelli (pictured, photo by Peter Schaaf), an Argentine musician, seasoned composer and experienced arranger specializing in all styles of tango. He’s also the torchbearer of the music of Astor Piazzolla, with whom he has collaborated. Among the compositions featured include Piazzolla’s tango-tastic Double Concerto for Guitar and Bandoneón, Manuel de Falla’s flamenco-flavored El Amor Brujo (Love Bewitched), Arturo Marquez’s playful Danzón No. 2 and Silvestre Revueltas’ haunting

La Noche de los Mayas (The Night of the Mayas). Guest mezzo-soprano Jennifer Hines also adds her vox to the mix and Stefan Sanderling conducts. Fri., Oct. 9, 8 p.m., Carol Morsani Hall at Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center, 1010 N. MacInnes Place, Tampa; Sat., Oct. 10, 8 p.m., Progress Energy Center for the Arts, Mahaffey Theater, 400 First St. S., St. Petersburg; and Sun., Oct. 11, 7:30 p.m., Ruth Eckerd Hall, 1111 McMullen-Booth Rd., Clearwater, $20-$67, floridaorchestra.org. – Leilani Polk
