Horacio Franco is one of Mexico’s rising stars. A flute and recorder virtuoso, he’s played with virtually every Mexican orchestra and given concerts around the globe. On Sept. 17, Franco discussed his musical inspirations with Mission Loc@l reporter Lily Mihalik at the Mission Dolores Basilica.

The show was sponsored by the Mexican Consulate, and is the first of many to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Mexican Independence.

  1. What a lovely piece — everything so well put together and it captured the atmosphere of the setting and the artist. I felt as if I was there in the church, listening to the flute and recorder.
