200 years ago, at the behest of Mozart's librettist Lorenzo da Ponte, Spanish tenor Manuel Garcia brought his troupe of Spanish singers to America to spend a year performing at the Park Theatre in downtown Manhattan. This marked the first collaboration of note whereby Spanish artists brought both their language and culture to the New York performing arts community. To commemorate this anniversary, this concert will highlight 200 years of musical exchange between the American and Hispanic worlds. Ranging from some of the operatic works first performed in New York by Garcia in 1826 to zarzuela to De Falla to the present, this eclectic program will take you on a musical journey through history.
Featuring baritone Daniel Sutin, soprano Ashley Galvani Bell, tenor James Mancuso, alto Laura Laureano and accompanied by Bobby Peterson on the piano and Song-a-Cho on violin.
