This year’s “Music in Corrales” holiday concert in the Old Church comes Saturday evening, December 19.
The New Mexico Woodwind Quintet will feature selections from Hayden,
Mozart and Bozza, and will highlight a piece written expecially for
them by Michael Mauldin, “Canyon Light.”
The concert will conclude with holiday favorites.
This concert replaces the one previously scheduled for that evening,
violinist David Felberg and cellist Felix Wurman. That was cancelled
due to illness.
Individual tickets are $22 available in advance from Frame-n-Art in Las Tiendas de Corrales Center.
At the door, if seats remain, admission is $25. Tickets can be purchased on-line at www.musicincorrales.org.
The concert season produced by the Corrales Cultural Arts Council
continues into the new year. On January 16, the Biava Quartet performs
at the Old Church. They are violinists Austin Hartman and Hyunsu Ko,
violist Mary Persin and cellist Jason Calloway, who hold the Lisa
Arnhold Quartet Residency at the Juilliard School.
They are currently working on a commission for four new compositions.
The Biava String Quartet performs Schubert, Shostakovich, Barber and
Ginastera.
Then on February 20, guitarist David Burgess will play music by J.S.
Bach, Ernesto Nazareth, Caetano Veloso, Raphael Rabello, Baden Powell
and Antonio Carlos Jobim (including “Samba do Avião” or “Airplane
Samba”). He had studied with Andres Segovia until the guitar master’s
death in 1987.
Burgess was a first prize winner in the Andres Segovia Competition. His
work is strongly influenced by the music of Spain and South America.
In March, Carrie Newcomer sings and plays keyboard and guitar. In 2007,
she was commissioned to write the YMCA’s new national theme song. One
of her latest CD releases is “The Geography of Light,” which follows
“The Age of Possibility” and “The Gathering of Spirits.”
Tapestry, coming April 17, is composed of Laurie Monahan, mezzosoprano
and harp, Cristi Catt, soprano, Daniela Tosic, alto, and Shira Kammen,
harp and vielle.
The Boston-based group made its debut in1995 with bold medieval and contemporary compositions.
