SOLI’s second concert of the season features composers who weave the sounds and spirit of their cultural heritages into contemporary classical works.
The repertoire for SOLI’s second concert of the season features composers who weave the sounds and spirit of their cultural heritages into contemporary classical works. Latin Grammy-award-winning composer Gabriela Frank’s Hilos “…alludes to the beauty of Peruvian textiles, both in their construction and in their pictorial content of everyday life” and creates sonorities evocative of indigenous music. African-American composer Shawn Okpebholo’s compositions have been described as “devastatingly beautiful” and “fresh and new and fearless,” and his ethnomusicological fieldwork in both East and West Africa often finds its way into his music. SOLI will give the world premiere of CONFLUX by San Antonio native Niccolo Athens, known for blending the Western tonalities and heritage of his youth with the Eastern modes and harmonic palate of his adopted home Tianjin, China.
