The Ibero-American fandango and tango — which owe a debt of ancestry to dances and ceremonies brought to Europe and the Americas by enslaved people from Africa — share the spotlight in this concert.
Also included are Scherzo and Street Music by the award-winning Hirabayashi, who appears as a special guest performing several of her own pieces. Three virtuoso harpsichordists are joined onstage by the ConTempo Quartet’s Bogdan Sofei and award-winning dancer Yovanna Torres Blanco.
The performance is crowned by two audience favourites: a new arrangement for two harpsichords by Malachy Robinson of Astor Piazzola’s Libertango and Boccherini’s Fandango as the concert finale.
