## About this plan

The Bogota Philharmonic returns to the Leon de Greiff Auditorium with two free concerts to wrap up the week with live music. The shows happen on Friday, October 2, and Saturday, October 3, at one of the most beloved stages in the city center, inside the National University.

The main piece of the program is the Cello Concerto by Witold Lutoslawski, one of the most demanding works in the 20th century repertoire. Santiago Canon-Valencia performs the solo part. He is one of the most prominent Colombian cellists on the international stage, and he comes back to the Philharmonic to reconnect with the Bogota audience. Russian conductor Guerassim Voronkov leads the orchestra, with a long career in symphonic groups across Europe and the Americas.

This plan works well for anyone looking for cultural events in Bogota without paying a ticket fee. Plan to arrive early, since entry is free until the theater reaches full capacity.
