We hit the jackpot of incredible repertoire on today’s program. A teen guitarist describes her Spanish-inspired work like a fiesta, a cellist with insights into physical and mental wellbeing brings fire to her performance of Cassado, and a piano trio from the Pacific Northwest perform Shostakovich with gusto! We’ll also hear from a violist who champions contemporary composers and are treated to a vibrant new work by Mexican composer José Elizondo, performed by a teen cellist whose interpretation was shaped by working directly with the composer himself.
