Anna Cazurra, who was awarded the Foundation for Iberian Music’s Composer Commission in 2007 (click to hear the concert), will give the world premiere of her latest work, Gran Tango, in New York City in June.

Saturday, June 6th, 2015 at 3:00 p.m

Broadway Presbyterian Church

114th Street and Broadway

The work, Gran Tango, is for string orchestra, and will be performed under the direction of Laurine Celeste Fox, who has also worked with the Foundation on a previous Composer’s Commission concert. She is currently the executive directory of the Symphony of the City of New York. The program will include a selection of canonical Spanish works, such as Turina’s Rapsodia Sinfónica, the Preludio of Villa Lobos’ Bachianas Brasileiras No. 4. and selections from de Falla’s Siete Canciones Populares Españolas (which will be sung by soprano Amaya Arberas, accompanied by Martin Söderberg).

We hope you will join us to celebrate new work and support our esteemed colleagues!
