Composer and long-time collaborator with the Foundation for Iberian Music, Benet Casablancas, will be holding a guest seminar at the CUNY Graduate Center on March 8th at 10 am, in room 3492. In this seminar, he will discuss his own compositions, focusing on the works that he has written for New York City: for the Miller Theater, for the Morgan Library and Museum, and for the Foundation for Iberian Music. 

Graduate Center composition students and faculty have been invited to attend this special seminar, but the public is welcome. Both composers and Spanish music scholars and enthusiasts alike should not miss this opportunity to discuss composition with one of Spain’s most celebrated living composers! (Non CUNY guests must sign in at the front desk, so please be sure to bring a government-issued ID.)

This seminar is in advance of Casablancas’ upcoming world premiere on March 10, his latest commission for the Foundation for Iberian Music, Romanza sin palabras: Homage to Granados. The concert will be at 7 pm in the Elebash Recital Hall at the Graduate Center. Admission is free, but reservations are recommended. See post for full program and details.
