On Wednesday, September 20th, 2017, at 7 p.m., Emilie and I are thrilled to invite you to Part I of our SOUNDS OF SPAIN program in celebration of Enrique Granados’s 150th birthday and the composers in his circle. In this all-Spanish program, we will be showcasing some of the most impassioned Spanish works ever composed for violin and piano, including the two never-heard jewels of the Spanish Baroque – Domenico Scarlatti’s stirring Sonata in D minor (ca. 1739) and Antonio Soler’s rapturous Sonata El Escorial in A Major (date unknown) – along with Luigi Boccherini’s sunny Sonata in B-flat Major for violin and keyboard, G. 27 (1768), Enrique Granados’s yearning Romanza for violin and piano (1913) and his characterful Tres Preludios (1913), Federico Mompou’s poignant Altitud for violin and piano (1926), Joaquin Nin’s folkloric suite of four pieces, Seguida Espanola (1929), Manuel de Falla’s fiery Suite populaire Espagnole (1914), and Gaspar Cassado’s resplendent Sonata in D Major (1926). This musical journey through the sizzling Sounds of Spain in tribute to Enrique Granados and his circle is not-to-be-missed!!

Emilie and I look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday, September 20th!
