Delgani’s third program travels between Spain and Latin America, featuring Gabriela Lena Frank’s Leyendas, a six-part work inspired by the folk music and instruments of the Peruvian Andes. The program opens with an early quartet by Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga, known in his day as the "Spanish Mozart." Another Spaniard, Joaquín Turina, stunningly evokes the experience of a bullfighter in La Oración del Torero. The program concludes with Alberto Ginastera’s first quartet, an Argentinian modernist masterpiece.
