Rafael Payare: From Andalusia To The Plains Of Venezulea: Cantata Criolla (“Florentino, el que cantó con el Diablo”)

Public

Creole Cantata ("Florentino, the one who sang with the Devil")

Approved

This program juxtaposes two heroes in their quest for an ideal: Don Quixote, the wandering knight who ventures out to battle evil on the Andalusian plains, and Florentino, a Venezuelan plainsman who wrestles with the Devil in a singing contest in Estévez’s Cantata criolla. This masterpiece of the South American repertoire, which Rafael Payare invites us to discover, concludes a richly eventful evening also featuring the world premiere of a work by OSM Composer-in-residence Ana Sokolović.
