Souvenirs Ensemble is having its debut concert as part of Atlas’ celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month. The program features the music of XX and XXI century’s Latin-American & Caribbean composers Silvestre Revueltas (Mexico), Eddy Mora (Costa Rica), Gabriela Lena Frank (US/Perú), and Keyla Orozco (Cuba). With the exception of Revueltas, all the composers belong to the same generation (born between 1965 and 1972). As a curator of this program, Keyla Orozco has chosen the form of miniatures to present the diversity of styles among these composers, who at the same time share a very strong connection with the musical roots of their (of their ancestors) home lands.
Souvenirs Ensemble is a chamber music group recently founded by Keyla Orozco and her brother Jorge Orozco to perform mainly Latin, Caribbean and American contemporary music. It is named after Keyla Orozco’s composition for string quartet “Souvenirs”, which will be world-premiered in this program. The ensemble is integrated by a culturally diverse group of musicians based in the Washington DC-Metropolitan Area, all having exceptional careers both as soloists and chamber music performers. Jorge Orozco, violin; Jennifer Lee, violin; María Montano, viola; Vasily Popov, cello; Hsiang-Ling Hsiao, piano.
Program:
Silvestre Revueltas: Música de Feria (string quartet)
Keyla Orozco: Piezas de Bolsillo (viola & piano)
Gabriela Lena Frank: Folk Songs (violin, piano & cello)
Eddie Mora: Miniaturas (violin & piano)
Keyla Orozco: Souvenirs (string quartet) -Premiere-
We hope to see you there!
