Historical context

I will present a program of pieces drawing from the rich Latin American guitar tradition, offering a mosaic of gems from the guitar repertoire by composers from Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Cuba, and Paraguay. The music on this program syncretizes elements of the regional folkloric, avant garde, and popular music music traditions of the 20th century.
