At the end of the 19th century, Latin American composers sought and found a unique sound by setting poems by their poets to music. Latin American composers were writing in a socio-cultural context being shaped by profoundly nationalistic social trends and a fertile musical renaissance was spread throughout the Americas.
The heart of the Latin American Art Song repertoire was written from the end of the 19th century to about the middle of the 20th. The origins of the genre originated from 19th century Germany where composers such as Schubert and Schuman were writing lieder (lit. song) for piano and solo voice.
Immerse yourself in exquisite music and poetry as soprano Mariela Añazco and pianist Andrés Añazco perform a captivating evening of beautiful music by Schubert, Chopin, Latin American composers such as Guastavino, Salgado, Benito de Jesús, Vera Santos and Catalan composer Montsalvatge. The musicians will connect with the audience through a narrative woven by enticing those present to reflect on music, history and beauty.
