At the Maison symphonique de Montréal, tonight’s program will feature the world premiere of an orchestral piece Melita, which was composed at Civitella Ranieri last year by Ana Sokolović (CRF 2022). There will be a pre concert talk at 6:30PM hosted by Marianne Perron with composer Ana Sokolović and director Alberto Averlo. The program juxtaposes two heroes in their quest for an ideal: Don Quixote, the wandering knight who ventures out to battle evil on the Andalusian plains, and Florentino, a Venezuelan plainsman who wrestles with the Devil in a singing contest in Estévez’s Cantata criolla. This masterpiece of the South American repertoire, which Rafael Payare invites us to discover, concludes a richly eventful evening with Ana Sokolović’s premiere. Get your tickets here.
