Los Cenzontles (Nahuatl for "the mockingbirds") dig deep into Latino traditions to promote dignity, pride, and cultural understanding. The group has pioneered revivals of Mexican roots music in California, bringing traditions to new generations. The Mockingbirds now create a powerful new hybrid sound with a fresh Chicano voice.

The Instituto Superior de Arte del Teatro Colón is the training institute of Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, one of the leading opera houses in the Americas. It has been training artists for the world’s opera and ballet stages for decades. For the fourth year, a group of talented young musicians joined us for an evening of opera favorites.


13 - Mvt. I, from String Quartet No. 1
"Montes"

by Agustín Fernández
Performed by Momenta Quartet

This text will be replaced

The Momenta Quartet has been described by Time Out New York as a “striking new-music quartet,” but the quartet’s range goes far beyond a single form of music. Including over 40 world premieres by both established and up-and-coming composers, the ensemble’s repertoire includes classical standards, contemporary masterworks, and consort music of the Renaissance. Momenta approaches all of this music with equal passion and commitment; a new work by a young composer is given as much attention as a revered mainstay of the classical canon.
