Arturo Márquez Performs Homecoming Concert Oct. 10 in El Centro
World-renowned composer Arturo Márquez performed a six-piece concert with the Imperial Valley Symphony on October 10 at the Jimmie Cannon Theater at Southwest High School in El Centro, drawing an audience of 1,100. The event served as a fundraiser for local scholarships, and Márquez declined any monetary compensation, citing his family's roots in the Imperial Valley since 1980. His brother, District Attorney George Márquez, helped plan the concert and described it as a deeply personal homecoming for the composer.
