TLH Ensemble reflects Miami’s diverse populous and their experiences by sourcing multicultural local and global art music and talent. For this occasion, Juan Trigos, the ensemble’s artistic director and conductor has carefully selected one repertoire work by Igor Stravinsky, as well as a recent work by Mexican-American composer Ricardo Zohn-Muldoon, and two premieres by Miami-based composers Federico Bonacossa and Catalina von Wrangell. We invite audiences everywhere to contemplate the evolution of art music and broaden their understanding of its traditions and its potential trajectories.
