“Texas has a rich musical history and Selena is certainly among the greatest artists to ever hail from the state,” said Lubbock Symphony Orchestra President & CEO Galen Wixson. “It’s only fitting that we honor the Queen of Tejano Music’s legacy and do so with another great Texan, Isabel Marie Sánchez, who I know audiences will love.”
Before the Dreaming of You Tribute to Selena, the Lubbock Symphony will feature a special pre-show performance by local musical group, Mariachi Azteca, on the Market Street stage in the lobby of the Buddy Holly Hall. Guests are encouraged to arrive early at 6:30 p.m. to enjoy the lively atmosphere before the main event begins.
Tickets start at $25 and are on sale at lubbocksymphony.org or by calling 806-762-1688.
