SUMMARY:Fiesta Latina
DESCRIPTION:The rich tempos and harmonies of Latin America interpreted thro
 ugh the tight precision of a chamber music ensemble.&nbsp\;Presented by th
 e Figueroa Music and Arts Project.Featuring the familiar stringed instrume
 nts and piano of the traditional chamber ensemble augmented with flute and
  clarinet. Latin American composers from the turn of the 20th century to r
 ecent Latin Grammy award nominees are included on the lush and varied prog
 ram. &ldquo\;Fiesta Latina\, A Feast of Hispanic Chamber Music&rdquo\; is 
 being presented at 7 p.m. February 20 at the Concert Hall of the Robertson
  and Sons Violin Shop. &ldquo\;New Mexico was the farthest north outpost o
 f the Spanish Empire\, whose legacy is the Spanish-speaking countries of C
 entral and South America &ndash\; as well as much of the Caribbean islands
 \,&rdquo\; said Guillermo Figueroa\, music director of The Figueroa Projec
 t. &ldquo\;So\, it is only fitting that New Mexicans sample the rich music
 al heritage of this wide region.&rdquo\; From Argentina&rsquo\;s Astor Pia
 zzolla (1921-1992) and his fast-paced La Murte del Angel\, to Uruguay&rsqu
 o\;s Miguel del Aguila (b 1957)\, and his lilting Sal&oacute\;n Buenos Air
 es\, this chamber music program moves across the geographical expanse and 
 the indigenous variety of the region&rsquo\;s musical heritage. Del Aguila
  may be familiar to Albuquerqueans from his 2005-2007 position as composer
 -in-residence with the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra\, and his opera &ldqu
 o\;Time and Again Barelas\,&rdquo\; celebrating this city&rsquo\;s tricent
 ennial. It is music to impel the listener to stir and sway in his seat\, a
 s the rhythms of traditional Latin dances from classic bolero to more rece
 nt popular styles are presented. Consider Puerto Rico&rsquo\;s foremost co
 mposer of popular music Rafael Hernandez (1892-1965) and his Potpourri de 
 Canciones Favoritas. Patrons old enough to remember will be reminded of th
 e music of Ricky Ricardo in the perennial television series &ldquo\;I Love
  Lucy.&rdquo\; Rounding out the program will be selections by Heitor Villa
 -Lobos (1887-1959) of Brazil\, Pablo Ziegler of Argentina (b 1944)\, known
  as the leading exponent of &ldquo\;nuevo tango\,&rdquo\; Ernesto Grenet o
 f Cuba\, and Carlos Franzetti (b 1948) of Argentina. Serious music this mo
 st decidedly is. Stuffy it most decidedly is not. Music to capture the ima
 gination and memory it most decidedly is. The audience will walk away from
  this concert with wide smiles and rolling over one melody or another in t
 heir minds as they dance out the doors with the feeling they have been on 
 a musical odyssey across the expanse of the Spanish Americas. Tickets are 
 priced at $52\, and can be obtained at www.figueroaproject.org. &ldquo\;Fi
 esta Latina&rdquo\; is The Project&rsquo\;s first concert of the new year.
  &ldquo\;Music\, Dinosaurs and Dance &ndash\; A Fun Family Frolic\,&rdquo\
 ; an event for both adults and children\, will follow on March 10 at 2 p.m
 . at the KiMo Theatre. Further information and ticket purchase can be acce
 ssed at the Project website.
