Lost Gems: Piano Music of Bolivia – Walter Aparicio
Discover the rarely-heard piano music of Bolivia, featuring inspiring works by Eduardo Caba, Simeon Roncál, and others! In this engaging workshop, we’ll explore how these composers draw from traditional music, blending it with Western classical elements to create a distinctive sound. Through live performances and video examples of folk music, we’ll deepen our understanding of how meter, movement, and rhythm connect across artistic disciplines to express culture and life.
