Venezuelan Folk Music with Eddy Marcano

Celebrating Venezuelan Folk Music with Eddy Marcano

Apollo Chamber Players welcomes Latin Grammy-winning violinist Eddy Marcano with Baden Goyo (piano) and Sebastian Marcano (cuatro) for a program featuring new compositions and arrangements of Venezuelan folk music. Continuing our Bartók string quartet cycle, we highlight the Hungarian composer’s exuberantly primal fourth string quartet, considered by many to be among his greatest compositions and most deeply connected to his lifelong exploration of folk music.

Program:

· Albert Hernández/Trino Jimenez: Venezuelan Suite, for string quintet and piano

· Trino Jimenez: Canciones varias Venezolanas, Polo margariteno & Golpe Amalia Rosa

· Fuga con Pajarito: A. Romero

· Béla Bartók: String Quartet No. 4
