Ortiz is also currently a year-long composer-in-residence at Carnegie Hall. On Thursday, April 10 at 7:30 p.m., Ensemble Connect will reprise a collaboration with Ortiz to present Denibée-Yucuñana, her four-movement tribute to Oaxaca-born painter Rufino Tamayo. Their concert also nods to the worldwide Year of Czech Music celebration with a rare presentation of Martinů’s Nonet. Mozart’s grand String Quintet in C Major, K. 515 completes the performance.
