Brooklyn, NY - The Brooklyn Conservatory of Music proudly presents the Brooklyn Conservatory Chorale perform Boston to Buenos Aires: Music of the Americas from Colonial to Tango. Guest soloists include singer and actor Chris Vasquez, cellist Eleanor Norton, and piccolo player Christina Perea. The program covers centuries of music in the Americas and is conducted by Nelly Vuksic with Cesar Vuksic at the piano.

The landscape of music creation in the Americas is extraordinarily rich and varied, encompassing an extensive range of evolution and transformation. The New World absorbed influences from many different countries and cultures, producing an original and unique musical expression.

Boston to Buenos Aires begins with early music of the Americas, featuring compositions by the well-known 18th century New England composer W. Billings as well as works by early South American composers. Billings' music, while based in Biblical text, is sensuous and dramatic and uses unorthodox harmonies. The early composers of Latin America, in spite of their religious narrative, express a large range of feelings in their music, which often is based on dance rhythms of great vitality.

The program also features 20th century and contemporary compositions of different styles and approaches, ranging from strong, dramatic Spanish flamenco flavor by E. Grau (Argentina) to the delicate and poetic elegance of G. Glass (USA, born in Panama) and C. Guastavino (Argentina). Other composers presented include: Conservatory faculty member Michael Rose (USA), E. Aguiar (Brazil), M. Lifchitz (Mexico), H. Villalobos (Brazil), and A. Piazzolla (Argentina).
