Colombia Tierra Querida – Colombia, Dear Land

Thursday, June 1, 2017 at 7:15 pm - 8:30 pm

free and open to the public

Crossing Borders Music joins forces with The Mulati Ensemble to perform seldom-heard compositions, world premiere arrangements, and uplifting Colombian folk songs and dances. Included on the program will be a premiere performance of “Tiger” by Eustasio Rosales. Rosales, known as Chicago’s first Hispanic composer, was a Colombian immigrant whose works were celebrated in his life time and performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. His scores, in storage and forgotten for decades, have been recently rediscovered. The concert also includes a work by Luis Calvo, known for his charming, salon-style works for piano, which he wrote from confinement in a leper colony. Other composers represented include Carlos Posada Amador, Guillermo Uribe Holguin, and Andres Posada.
The concert is free and open to the public.
