Danse et Danzón
Live Concert: January 23rd, 2023 @ 7:30 PM
Virtual Concert: January 30th, 2023 @ 7:30 PM
The woodwind quintet is perhaps the most colorful, vibrant, and dynamic of all chamber groupings, with a repertoire of incredible stylistic range. For kaleidoscopic color and elegant clarity, there is perhaps no better demonstration than Maurice Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin, the French composer's sublime homage to Baroque dance. Before this legendary work, the program will begin with Jacques Ibert's joyous and buoyant 3 Pièces brèves, a bubbling taster for the depth to come. The second half of the program is a trip to Latin America: Paquito d'Rivera's Aires Tropicales is an eclectic set of dances from Spanish to jazz to Afro-Cuban, and Astor Piazzolla's Libertango is a passionate force of nuevo tango that will ignite the soul.
