<h2>About</h2>
Weaving together chamber classical, folk, torch song, and experimental music, Dorian Wood’s Canto de Todes is a 70-minute distillation born from Wood’s acclaimed 12-hour composition and installation in three movements. The title—Spanish for “Song of Everyone”—is inspired by a lyric of the late Chilean singer and songwriter Violeta Parra. Canto de Todes emphasizes the urgency of music as a vessel for social change and honors the ancestral trajectory of Wood’s Costa Rican-Nicaraguan family and their experience in the US. Featuring a cello quartet, guitar, experimental vocalizations and audiovisual elements, Canto de Todes brings together songs from all three movements to create a new, richly nuanced experience led by Wood’s powerful, multi-textured voice. After the performance, Wood will be in conversation with renowned scholar of Latinx performance practices Dr. Laura Gutiérrez.
On the day of the performance, visitors will be able to experience the second movement of Canto de Todes as an immersive 10-hour multi-channel composition in the Central Garden from 10am to 6pm. Weather permitting.
This event is organized by the Getty Research Institute’s <a href="https://www.getty.edu/projects/latin-american-latinx-art-initiative/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Latin American and Latinx Art Initiative</a>, which seeks to facilitate research on Latin American art with a focus on Central America and its diaspora.

Pacific Palisades, CA — The Music Guild at St. Matthew’s presents pianist Albert Cano Smit in his Music Guild debut on Friday, November 13, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. Led by Music Director and Conductor Dwayne S. Milburn, the acclaimed Chamber Orchestra at St. Matthew’s accompanies Cano Smit in Mozart’s luminous Piano Concerto No. 23 in A Major, K. 488, on a program that opens with the Overture to Mozart’s Don Giovanni and closes with Poulenc’s bright, mischievous Sinfonietta. The concert is presented in collaboration with Young Concert Artists.
“Albert Cano Smit is exactly the kind of artist our audiences love to discover: a pianist with poetry, imagination, and a natural feeling for Mozart,” said Music Director Dwayne S. Milburn. “The A-major concerto is intimate, graceful, and quietly radiant, which makes it a perfect fit for this orchestra and this room. We open with the drama of Don Giovanni and finish with Poulenc’s irresistible Sinfonietta, so the evening moves from shadow to sunlight. We are delighted to welcome Albert to the Music Guild for the first time, and grateful to Young Concert Artists for the collaboration.”
The Program
The evening begins with a jolt of drama. The Overture to Mozart’s Don Giovanni opens with solemn, shadowy chords that hush the hall, then bursts into a brisk, exhilarating rush that sets the whole evening in motion.
Then Albert Cano Smit steps to the piano for Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23, and the mood turns warm and sunlit. In the intimate setting of St. Matthew’s, audiences will hear every graceful phrase and every quiet exchange between piano and orchestra, from a sparkling opening through a slow movement of hushed, aching beauty to a lively, playful finale.
The program closes with Poulenc’s Sinfonietta—witty, tuneful, and irresistibly French. Expect fiery energy, mischievous melodies, a tender, songlike slow movement, and a finale that dashes to the finish. It is a joyful way to end the night, and audiences are likely to leave smiling.
Tickets are $49 and $10 for students with ID. Tickets can be purchased online in advance <a href="https://www.musicguildonline.org/event/mozart-and-poulenc-with-albert-cano-smit/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.musicguildonline.org</a> or at the door.
