Nov 9, 7:00pm Classical Tuesdays: A Musical Trip from Spain to Mexico

Next on our calendar! Classical Tuesdays is excited to feature Trio Guadalevin for our gathering on November 9, 7:00pm in Slavonian Hall, Old Town Tacoma. Because word is out that the series is live in Slav Hall, we recommend that you pre-register – by mailing prryker@gmail.com.  Again, we will ask for proof of vaccination and that you all wear a mask during the event. Arrive by 6:50 to claim your seat. 

Join Trío Guadalevín for a musical journey that will travel from Spain/the Mediterranean to Veracruz, La Huasteca and the Pacific coast of Mexico, with novel arrangements shaped from son huasteco, baroque melodies, son jarocho, Sephardic Jewish balladry, Zapotec songs and more.

Many instruments and sonorities new to our experience will be heard! The trio features Abel Rocha (voice, harp, jarana, guitar, quinta) with Gus Denhard (baroque guitar, oud, jarana, theorbo and vihuela) and Antonio Gómez (panderos, cajón, teponaztli, jarana and additional percussion). 

This concert debuts a new collaboration with Ke Guo, (voice, harp, dizi) which harks back to the Manila-Acapulco trade route that connected China with Mexico, by way of the Philippines. A student of Spain's Paco Diez, Ms. Guo will also perform a selection of Sephardic Jewish music.
