MONDAY! October 27! 11 am! Join us at City College (Shephard Hall, Rm. 95) for an informative morning of wonderful Latin piano music.

Pianist Joseph Smith will be doing a lecture-recital on the links between Western classical and vernacular Latin-American traditions, such as tango and milonga. For a preview, check out this excerpt from a lecture Mr. Smith did years ago, featuring a performance of “Te quiero tanto,” which he will be playing at next week’s program.
