“The Soul of the Spanish Violin” Release and Residency

Recent Graduate Center graduate Eva León is celebrating the release of her album The Soul of the Spanish Violin (Naxos) this Wednesday at National Sawdust in Williamsburg. León completed her Doctor of Music with a dissertation on Joaquín Rodrigo, advised by Antoni Pizà. Her new album is all works by Rodrigo, performed with pianist Olga Vinokur, who is also joining León for the release concert.

León and her chamber ensemble will be joining the resident ensembles of the Foundation for Iberian Music in Fall 2017, and will be performing with our other acclaimed residents, Perspectives Ensemble and New York Andalus Ensemble.

Tickets are $29 ($34 at door). National Sawdust is a non-profit venue whose programming is guided by local artists. It offers several educational initiatives and a non-profit recording studio.
