Composer Gabriela Lena Frank explores the tumultuous relationship between Mexican painters Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera in a string quartet based on her acclaimed 2021 opera El último sueño de Frida y Diego (The Last Dream of Frida and Diego), a “confident, richly imagined score” (The New Yorker) that “bursts with color and fresh individuality” (Los Angeles Times). This new multi-media DACAMERA production features projections based on the paintings of Frida Kahlo.
With their gripping performance style and unquenchable appetite for musical adventure, Brooklyn Rider has carved a singular space in the world of string quartets over their 20-plus year history. Now, they make their long-awaited DACAMERA debut. DACAMERA Young Artists join the quartet for Osvaldo Golijov’s passionate Ever Yours and Brooklyn Rider’s own arrangements of traditional folk music.
Presented in conjunction with the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston’s exhibition Frida: The Making of an Icon
