As we announced last week, Song, Dance, and Celebration, the Foundation for Iberian Music’s commission from Benet Casablancas, will soon have its Canadian premiere. This week, we have more good news for Casablancas fans, in NYC and abroad.

Firstly, the Croatian ensemble Cantus, who are performing this week with the Canadian Sinfoniettia, will also be taking the show home to Zagreb, for the work’s Croatian premiere, and finally, to Barcelona, for—you guessed it—its Spanish premiere! We are very excited to see Song, Dance, and Celebration travel the world.  Tickets for the Zagreb concert will be available through Lisinsky Hall, so please watch their events page for more information. The Barcelona concert is May 21, 2015, and tickets are now available through L’Auditori.

There are many other Casablancas works being performed around the world, so check out his publisher’s website for a full list of upcoming events. One of them is right here in Brooklyn, March 24, at the hip Boerum Hill performing arts space, Roulette. Local ensemble Ear Heart Music will be playing Six Glosses on Texts by Cees Nooteboom (which will also be featured on the Barcelona program), to a backdrop of original animation by Jeanne Stern.
