Experience the magic that happens when musical voices across time and style come together in perfect synergy. From the classical sparkle of Mozart’s Eine kleine Nachtmusik to the lush, romantic richness of Teresa Carreño’s Serenade for Strings, and the hypnotic drive of Philip Glass’s Symphony No. 3, this concert is a celebration of unity through contrast. Each work shines on its own—yet when heard together, they reveal surprising connections and a shared spirit of invention. Join us for an unforgettable evening where tradition meets innovation, and strings sing with one voice across centuries.

Hispanic Heritage Month Concert

La Luz Center

Aaron Copland made four highly publicized government-sponsored trips to Latin America between 1941 and 1963. During these visits, he shared contemporary American concert music with Latin American audiences, including his own violin sonata, heard on tonight’s program. Back home, he drew US attention to the composers and musicians he met in Latin America, such as Heitor Villa-Lobos of Brazil and Silvestre Revueltas and Manuel Ponce of Mexico, all whom Copland knew personally and whose works are also featured. Another contemporary of Copland was the Black American composer William Grant Still, whose Panamanian Dances were inspired by a collection of Latin American folk songs. The history of Pan-American musical exchange predates Copland.

The Americas

Hanna Boys Center

Known to her adoring fans as the “Valkyrie of the piano,” Venezuelan pianist, composer, and opera star Teresa Carreño (1853-1917) stunned audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. Like Cuban violinist-composer José White, Carreño received support from American composer Louis Gottschalk in New York City, and concertized widely in Europe, before returning to America, and then to Venezuela, where she attempted to found a conservatory and opera company. This program weaves together the rich tapestry of Carreño’s life and influence, featuring her works alongside those of her teachers, friends, and students, and even a husband.

Pianist, Singer and Composer: Teresa Carreño

Join us for season two of the Catalyst Quartet’s Uncovered series with guest artists bringing to broader recognition the music of historic composers whose works have rarely been heard.

And we’ve been missing out.”
