With all the excitement about the San Francisco Opera premiere of Gabriela Lena Frank's El último sueño de Frida y Diego, we bring you a piece by this gifted composer on a smaller scale... Mitos. This wonderful piece was commissioned by Quinteto Latino and is a delightful musical visit with some curious mythical creatures from South America. We'll also perform music of another Gabriela... Puzzle-Tocas by the amazing Mexican composer, Gabriela Ortiz. You'll also hear Paquito D’ Rivera's playful Wapango and another Quinteto Latino commission: The Spanglish Dances by Venezuelan composer Victor Márquez-Barrios.

We're excited to perform for this long-standing San Francisco concert series! The location is beautiful... Old St. Mary's Cathedral, located at the intersection of Chinatown and the financial district. This concert is offered in partnership with San Francisco's Musical Lunch Break, a non-profit that offers a free classical music concert every Tuesday.
