International Transformations 🍁
Friday July 31, 2026 14:30 - 15:30 EDT
Italy in Edinburgh (Julia Seager Scott & Alison Melville): In the mid-1600's, Italy was all the rage. Other countries adopted their artistic tastes and this led to some interesting developments, especially in music. We explore this topic with our instruments: harp and wooden flutes and recorders. Listen for some Vivaldi appearing in a Scottish folk tune!

Obras latinoamericanas para arpa (Latin American works for Harp) (Juan Riveros): A showcase program of diverse works highlighting the aesthetics of Alba Quintanilla, Arturo Márquez, Mario Ruiz Armengol, and María Suárez.
