NOSPR / Domingo Hindoyan / Pacho Flores - NOSPR

As the Venezuelan-born Pacho Flores declares: ‘Music is music. It makes no difference whether it comes from South America or Europe. What we listen to in Venezuela is by no means worse than classical music’. That statement seems close to the heart of the Puerto Rican Robert Sierra, who – in accordance with the principle that the universal is strongly rooted in the local – fuses elements of music heard in his childhood with the output of European classical music. Latin-European accents will resound throughout this concert: alongside Arturo Márquez’s work Concierto de otoño, we will hear an Argentinian tango nuevo by the father of the genre, Astor Piazzolla. His teacher, Alberto Ginastera, put together the Estancia Suite from fragments of his music to a ballet illustrating a rural Argentinian landscape. The biggest cosmopolitan in this company would appear to be the Swede Christian Lindberg, who openly declares that when writing the work Akbank Bunka he subconsciously succumbed to Turkish, Japanese, Nordic and American influences.
