On November 30th, 2024, the Doctor Phillips Center in the heart of Downtown Orlando was dressed to impress to welcome Fusion Fest, an annual festival that has become a benchmark for cultural diversity and inclusion in the city. This event, organized by the Orange County Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs, brought together 700 people from different ethnic, cultural, and social backgrounds, who enjoyed a day full of music, art, dance, and gastronomy.

The Nucleus Orchestra Texas had the honor of being part of this celebration, contributing their talent and energy to the event. The orchestra performed a varied repertoire that included everything from Venezuelan classics like the contagious merengue, to unique versions of international hits like Coldplay’s “Viva la Vida” and the “Pirates of the Caribbean” soundtrack. Each piece was an invitation to dream big and celebrate the musical richness of Latin America.
