Mónica Cárdenas – composer and pianist
The Peruvian-Spanish composer and pianist Mónica Cárdenas’s exciting works are rich in Spanish harmonies and melodies fused with a myriad of African rhythms, thus bringing out her vibrant and unique style. She will play pieces from her latest piano solo album, 10 Preludes and Fugues of Latin America, and the cello piece Chaos with Alexa K Palmer-Campiglia.
The Darina Piano Duo
The acclaimed The Darina Piano Duo, of Antonina Koleva-Lax and Alla Levit, will follow with a performance of compositions featuring many musical genres, from Minimalism to Neo-Romantics and more. Their inspiring repertoire features the works of many women composers, such as Melanie Spanswick, Vera Milankovich, Heather Hammond, Lindsey Berwin and Zhanneta Metallidi, as well as Edward Germanand Valery Gavrilin.
The concert is part of the Around the Globe Music and Arts Concert Series, whose aim is to assist and promote emerging pianists and composers from diverse cultural and social backgrounds by introducing a wider audience to an appreciation of the late 20th/21st century Contemporary Classical and Jazz piano music.
