An innovative chamber ensemble dedicated to producing bold, collaborative musical events, Agarita offers a new way to experience classical and contemporary music. Founded by Daniel Anastasio (piano), Marisa Bushman (viola), Ignacio Gallego (cello) and Sarah Silver Manzke (violin), Agarita nourishes the community through artistic collaborations, education, community engagement, and free, adventurous programming. In partnership with Me-Chicana songwriter Azul Barrientos, Agarita opens their 2024-2025 season with an illuminating and profound personal journey that explores love as a profound truth. Join Azul and Agarita for an evening of musical arrangements blending original compositions with classical masterpieces, crafting a narrative of hope, isolation, reflection, acceptance, and celebration." This event is proudly part of Xicanx Month. Free tickets will be available on the Stable Hall website on August 9th, 2 weeks before the performance.
Rooted in San Antonio, Texas, Agarita works intimately with artists of various genres to weave cross-artistic narratives for each concert, all accessible and free of charge to the community, in a bi-lingual format. Every program is unique: one concert with award-winning chef Elizabeth Johnson paired musical selections with dishes for the audience. Another with acclaimed poet Naomi Shihab Nye interwove her poetry readings with musical works inspired by her poetry. Writers, photographers, dancers, sculptors, lighting artists, art museums, and even a glassblower– Agarita is unafraid to pursue collaborations that challenge the concert medium to craft innovative, inspiring musical experiences.
The option to donate to the Agarita Chamber Players organization is available at checkout.
