Faculty Chamber Music Concert on March 14

York College’s music faculty will present a concert of chamber music at 3 p.m., March 14, in DeMeester Recital Hall, Evelyn and Earle Wolf Hall. The event is open to the public free of charge.

The Latin American program will feature the exotic and colorful chamber music of Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos. A rare performance of his “Sexteto Mystico” will be presented, along with other works by members of the College’s woodwind, guitar, and piano faculty.

Villa-Lobos was influenced by both Brazilian folk music and by stylistic elements from European classical tradition. He wrote numerous orchestral, chamber, instrumental and vocal works.
