Fresh from its annual, grand Martin Luther King, Jr., tribute program, the Chicago Sinfonietta partners with the National Museum of Mexican Art to present a much more intimate program in its Chamber Music Series. The concert, ¡Guitarra!, features guitar virtuoso Alfonso Ponticelli and Swing Gitan along with string players from the Chicago Sinfonietta. Together, they’ll explore the common antecedents of flamenco, jazz and classical in Mexican music and its Spanish influences. It sounds like a wonderful concert, but time is short: it’s this Friday night, Feb. 1, 7:30 p.m. at the National Museum of Mexican Art, 1852 W. 19th Street; 312-236-3681, ext. 2; $15.
