The San Francisco Symphony held their annual free concert in Dolores Park which included a special tribute to Mexico with an afternoon of musical favorites conducted by rising star Alondra de la Parra, a native of Mexico City who now lives in New York. This event was organized by the Consulate General of Mexico in San Francisco and the Friends of Mexico 2010 as part of the celebration the Bicentennial of the Independence of Mexico.
