22/23 Hop Presents
Inspired by Dartmouth's Mexican Repertoire Initiative, the evening begins with Sonoralia by Emmanuel Arias y Luna, a piece that will have you humming and dancing in your seat. Next, Silvestre Revueltas also incorporated Mexican folk tunes and rhythms in his music, but the sound world of his String Quartet No. 1 couldn't be more different from Arias y Luna. You'll want to experience this amazing pairing. The concert then travels ahead to the 20th century with Chinese American composer Thomas Oboe Lee's Morango... Almost a Tango and Japanese composer Sato Matsui's Amaterasu. The evening concludes with Joseph Haydn's String Quartet in E major, Op. 17/1.
Dr. Brian Messier, Director of Bands at Dartmouth College, will moderate a conversation with the quartet after the performance.
