QLXS 2020 Webinar: Discussing Latinos In Classical Music

Quinteto Latino proudly presents a free virtual Quinteto Latino Seminario Webinar on Wednesday, October 14, 2020, from 10:00-11:00am PT.

Free Admission. To secure tickets, please click on the ticket link and book via Eventbrite.

The Webinar will feature a comprehensive presentation focusing on the diversity of the United States Latinx identity and highlight tools and methods that the orchestras and chamber ensembles can use to better serve Latinx classical musicians, composers and audience members across the country.

Armando Castellano, Founder of Quinteto Latino, will moderate a diverse panel of Latinx musicians from their Seminario QLXS 2020 cohort: Julian Hernandez, Chaz Salazar, and Francsisca Wright.

“When the general public thinks of classical music, images of men in tuxedos or composers in powdered wigs come to mind,” said Margaret M. Lioi, CEO of Chamber Music America. “The Seminario and follow-on webinar that Quinteto Latino has organized aims at shattering that misconception and increasing awareness of the rich heritage, the immense repertoire, the incredible talent, and the depth of diversity within the Latinx community.”

The Webinar will serve as a call to action for the classical music field and as the first event of its kind, provide attendees with tools to create a dialogue that addresses the Latinx experience in classical music: race equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Who should attend this event? We invite presenters, executive directors, orchestras, conservatories, musicians, composers, funders, advocates, and other community stakeholders at large in the field.

“Quinteto Latino is among a small number of organizations nationwide that have been leading by example at the nexus of diversity, performance, and arts education. QL meets this moment with the credibility that comes with fifteen years worth of diverse Latin American programming for audiences across the United States…This webinar series is an opportunity to build authentic solidarity vital to shaping an arts ecosystem that is reflective of our society's artistic potential,” said Karen Cueva, Director for Learning and Engagement Programs at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute

Quinteto Latino is a San Francisco Bay Area wind quintet with a mission to build community through Latino Classical Music: performance and advocacy. Founded in 2004 by horn player Armando Castellano, this unique ensemble aims to expand the boundaries of a classical music tradition, commonly perceived as predominantly Euro-American, by performing works exclusively by Latino composers. In venues traditional and nontraditional, Quinteto Latino makes this music available, relevant, and inspiring to audiences across cultural, class, and ethnic lines. In addition, Quinteto Latino advocates on behalf of Latino composers and classical musicians through mentoring, commissioning, hiring, and being a voice, both regionally and nationally, for issues around diversity and classical music.

Paysage Frontière Music Video Release

Premiering On Sunday, September 6, 2020

Paysage Frontière, composed by Victor Ibarra, was commissioned as part of a Doctoral recording project at Arizona State University by Vince Dominguez.

The work was premiered by Vince Dominguez at Quinteto Latino Seminario, August 27, 2020 in San Francisco, CA.

Score Available at www.victoribarra.net/music/catalogue-of-works/ Music Video by Tonal Memories Creative © 2020

PROGRAM NOTES

"Paysage Frontière, translated as Border Landscape was commissioned by Dr. Vince Dominguez in July 2019, completed in February 2020, and written to underscore the border crisis that escalated in the 2010s between the United States and Mexico. In this work, the theme is established specifically with the installation Resistencia by Marcela Armas in mind. In this visual installation, the borderline of Mexico and the United States is drawn in the dark space of the room with an incandescent metallic filament. According to the installation’s own description, “The work is presented in the physical space as a real limit, overflowing with tension and incandescence. Resistance is a representation of the United States-Mexico border executed with a metal incandescent filament called resistance heating. A series of steel cables, or “tensors”, allow the set of vectors to configure the border drawing in three-dimensional space. The wires act as a group of forces in tension that enable the line to be sustained in space.” The resistance used in the installation establishes a metaphorical relationship to the sociopolitical reality that is lived on both sides of the border by representing it as an overwhelming line, filled with tension and incandescence. Resistance heating demands and consumes large amounts of energy from the electrical grid that feeds it.” Taking this installation as a reference and in accordance with my usual way of working from graphic sketches that I transform into melodic designs, I reference the tension and fold points of the metallic filament that turns on and off in the dark space. Similarly, the idea of ​​incandescence, on and off, are present in the nuances and notes that accompany the primary melodic design on which the piece is structured. The idea of ​​resistance becomes a constant, immutable, unifying force that is interwoven between the visual universe, present in the installation of weapons, and in the sound in the acoustic space that remains empty. The work reflects the border as a dangerous edge, as well as the rupture and distortion of relations between two neighboring nations. " -Victor Ibarra
