Since 2007, he has directed and performed in more than 60 concerts with the trumpeter Doc Severinsen and the San Miguel 5, appearing with symphony orchestras in Baltimore, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Nashville, and San Diego, among others. 

Mr. Gutierrez has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Bellas Artes in Mexico City, the California Center for the Arts in Escondido, and the Jesse H. Jones Hall in Houston.

He will be accompanied on Sunday by Bob Stern on violin and Dave Rodriguez on bass. Tickets are $20.

Saturday's program will include works by Respighi, Saint-Saens, Liszt, Smit, and Borodin. 

Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door, free for students under 21.
