Ciudad Vieja (string trio) premiered at the SSMF

My 2020 string trio “Ciudad Vieja” was premiered on July 3rd at the Sewanee Summer Music Festival with Lin He (violin), Hillary Herndon (viola) and Meghan Berindean (cello).

Program note about the piece:

In South America, the “Ciudad Vieja” is an emblem that today represents the neighborhood of a city where tradition and modernity coexist. The sounds of the string trio are folkloric sonorities arbitrarily metamorphosed with the help of an academic lens. Tangos, milongas, candombes are all there, all present all absent.

The score of the piece can be purchased in the Online store here.
