Twice Grammy-nominated guitarist-composer Jose Lezcano teams up with virtuoso pianist Virginia Eskin to present a duo program of music that showcases the Mediterranean spirit and excitement of works from Spain, Italy and Hispano-America.
Jose’s collaborations with Virginia over the past decade include duo performances for Boston’s St. Botolph Club, Natick Concert Series, the Bass Hall Monadnock Series in Peterborough, N.H., the Keene State College International Guitar Festival, and the Sumner Hall Concert Series in Keene, N.H. Together they have explored the little-known repertoire for guitar & amp; piano, including works by Torroba, Ponce, Castelnuovo-Tedesco, and an original work by Lezcano (Fantasia Latina).
They will present a program of works, entitled “Mediterranean Landscapes — Works from Spain, Italy, and Hispano-America,” including works by the aforementioned composers, with sonatas by Scarlatti, guitar
preludes of Villa-Lobos, and Brazilian Tangos by Nazareth.
All are invited to a screening of Meet the Coywolf, a PBS Nature documentary.
The coywolf, a mixture of western coyote and eastern wolf, is a remarkable new hybrid carnivore that is taking over territories once roamed by wolves and slipping unnoticed into our cities. Its appearance is very recent — within the last 90 years — in evolutionary terms, a blip in time. Beginning in Canada but by no means ending there, the story of how it came to be is an extraordinary tale of how quickly adaptation and evolution can occur, especially when humans interfere. Tag along as scientists study this new top predator, tracking it from the wilderness of Ontario’s Algonquin Park, through parking lots, alleys and backyards in Toronto all the way to the streets of New York City.
