BAE Woodwind Quintet at BronxArtSpace

To honor the Beyond the Artifact exhibition (part of the New York Latin American Art Triennial), the BAE Wind Quintet presents works written as modern interpretations or ideas of older dance forms. Piazzolla reinvents tango, Rafael Hernández lights the world on fire with Cumbia, Paquito d’Rivera combines Afro-Caribbean and Cuban worlds, and Arturo Márquez draws on his Mexican folk traditions, similarly to Béla Bartók’s Romanian folk explorations. Maurice Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin is a memoriam, both to people in his life, and a reimagining of the ancient French suite from the time of Couperin.
