CORPUS CHRISTI, TX — If you are a fan of Selena, the Queen of Tejano music, you won’t want to miss this amazing event coming to Whataburger Field on November 11th. The Corpus Christi Hooks and Corpus Christi Symphony Orchestra have teamed up to present the Symphonic Music of Selena, a spectacular tribute concert featuring some of the best local talent and a 60-piece orchestra.
The concert will be led by Dr. Abel Ramirez, a Professor of Music at Del Mar College and a renowned expert on Selena’s music. He will conduct the CCSO and accompany Isabel Marie Sánchez, a rising star who has won several awards for her vocal performance and interpretation of Selena’s songs.

“The Corpus Christi Symphony is very excited to bring the Symphonic Music of Selena to the community and once again partner with the Hooks at Whataburger Field,” said CCSO Executive Director Robin Nutter. “This tribute allows us an opportunity to commemorate Veterans Day and honor our service men and women with an array of community performers which will make this a one-of-a-kind musical celebration for the Coastal Bend.”
The concert will also feature a variety of musical acts that showcase the diversity and richness of Corpus Christi’s culture and history. You will enjoy the sounds of The Veterans Band of Corpus Christi, Flour Bluff High School Junior ROTC, Tuloso-Midway High School Mariachi Band, Corpus Christi ISD Youth Chorus, Texas A&M University-Kingsville Jazz Ensemble, Corpus Christi Veterans High School Vocal Ensemble/Poppies and the Kingdom of Christ Community Singers.
