Praised for her “attention to orchestral colors” (OperaWire), Lina González-Granados makes her Kodak Hall debut. Alberto Ginastera’s Four Dances from Estancia, a ballet, featuring music inspired his native Argentinian rural landscape. George Gershwin, similarly, was inspired by the sounds and rhythms of Havana when he composed his Cuban Overture. Olga Kern brings her extraordinary talent and star power to Gershwin’s Concerto in F. Gabriela Lena Frank’s Leyendas: An Andean Walkabout blends classical and Andean folk music traditions to perform in a sonorous space that co-exists together.
