The Arturo Somohano Philharmonic Orchestra will present 'Hillsong en Español: El Tributo Filarmónico' on September 5, combining symphonic music with iconic contemporary worship songs. The concert, which marks the closing of the orchestra's 75th anniversary celebration, will feature Puerto Rican singer and worship leader Laila Olivera. Olivera, who grew up with Hillsong's music, considers it an honor to be part of the project.
She will perform songs like 'Osana', which holds personal significance for her. The orchestra's associate director, José M. Febus, explained that adapting Hillsong's repertoire to an orchestral format has been a creative process, aiming to highlight new musical textures and colors.
The concert will take place at the Sala René Marqués in the Centro de Bellas Artes Luis A. Ferré in Santurce at 7:30 p.m.
