Program Notes:
A renowned pianist once said, “Bach’s Goldberg Variations caused me misery but I still can’t get enough.” This concert of themes and variations will satisfy with works by Revueltas and Brouwer, whose Canción de gesta is an homage to anti-Batista Cuban revolutionaries.
PROGRAM:
- J.S. Bach/Colgrass: Aria with 18 Variations, (“Goldberg Variations”)
- Silvestre Revueltas: Sensemaya
- Leo Brouwer: Canción de gesta (Song of Deed)
