About this Event
Featuring collaborations with students and faculty from Latin American and Caribbean Studies, this shared program of wind music led by Director of Bands Craig Paré, and string repertoire under the baton of University Orchestra director Orcenith Smith, incorporates elements of poetry, video and dance. Most notable will be Prof. Soledad Forcadell reading selections of the José Hernández poem Martín Fierro, which shares an artistic connection with Malambo from the ballet Estancia by Argentine composer Alberto Ginastera. While Antonio Gervansoni’s Peruvian Fanfare No. 1 takes inspiration from two traditional Peruvian dances, the elegant Marinera and the wild Festejo, Mexican composer Arturo Márquez’s popular Danzón No. 2 is an homage to the distinctive Latin danzón with its intimate, syncopated rhythms.
Attendees are asked to bring a non-perishable food item to donate to the Putnam County Emergency Food Pantry in support of the students' commitment to community service.
