Variant 6

Friday, October 27 @ 7pm

In this program Variant 6 and pianist Ting Ting Wong will explore the mysticism and inquisition of two contrasting composers’ takes on the concept of suffering.  The centerpiece of this program is Francis Poulenc’s rarely performed and dramatic Stabat Mater.  The other half of the program will highlight excerpts from Franz Liszt’s mystical and questioning Via Crucis. 

Suzzette Ortiz Quintet 

Sunday, October 29 @ 2pm

Join us to experience the extraordinary journey and talents of Suzzette Ortiz, a pianist, composer, choral conductor, and educator who has touched hearts and uplifted communities through her musical gifts. From her humble beginnings in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, to her remarkable achievements on the world stage, Suzzette’s dedication to music has left an indelible mark. Suzzette’s latest CD is an all-original Latin Jazz CD entitled “Renacer,” (Re-birth). Her music not only portrays Latin Jazz, but world music as well. It is a reflection of the people she has encountered and the places that she has visited. 

This concert is presented in collaboration with Artcinia.
