You’re Invited! In 2009, the Creative Work Fund awarded a grant to Quinteto Latino and composer Gabriela Lena Frank to develop a new work together. The challenges of life, work, a global pandemic, and other demands delayed the project, which is now scheduled to premiere in October 2021. You can hear from this dynamic pair — composer and the leader of the wind quintet — for free on Friday, May 28, at noon PDT. Register for the webinar through the Quinteto Latino newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/…/qlxs-2020-webinar-invitation…
This conversation is the first California Adelante event — a three-part discussion series with a diverse California native Latino composers, hosted by Armando Castellano, Music Director of Quinteto Latino wind quintet and Founder/Director of the Latino Music Education Network. His featured guest, Gabriela Lena Frank, currently serves as Composer-in-Residence with the Philadelphia Orchestra and is included on the Washington Post‘s list of the 35 most significant women composers in history (August, 2017).
