Concert Description:
“Sembrar” is a collection of songs for plants, mechanical percussion & voice which explore reconnecting with your immediate surroundings and meaningful distant landscapes as a fertile path towards healing and overcoming trauma. Originally a solo piece, this version is a special arrangement featuring a string quartet from the Bronx Arts Ensemble.
Eliana Mendoza, cello
Puerto Rican-born composer and multi-instrumentalist Angélica Negrón writes music for accordions, robotic instruments, toys and electronics as well as chamber ensembles and orchestras. Her music has been described as “wistfully idiosyncratic and contemplative” (WQXR/Q2) and “mesmerizing and affecting” (Feast of Music) while The New York Times noted her “capacity to surprise” and her “quirky approach to scoring.” Negrón has been commissioned by the Albany Symphony, Bang on a Can All-Stars, A Far Cry, MATA Festival, loadbang, The Playground Ensemble and the American Composers Orchestra, among others. She’s a teaching artist for New York Philharmonic’s Very Young Composers Program and Lincoln Center Education working with learners of all ages on creative composition projects.
