Cheyenne Symphony Spotlights Latin American Composers

In the April 4 Wyoming Tribune Eagle (Cheyenne), Taylor Staples writes, “For Cheyenne Symphony Orchestra Maestro William Intriligator, a concert like ‘Fiesta’ has been a long time coming. CSO’s second-to-last performance for its 70th season is headed to the Civic Center on April 12 … CSO has done at least one other all-Latin-composers concert in the last seven or eight years, according Intriligator. The last time they put on a Latin concert, they reached out to the local Latino community and were able to get a mariachi band, as well as the local dance troupe Las Angelitas Unidas y Los Rayos del Sol  … They’ll be joining the orchestra this year … The piece that will kick off the concert is … Arturo Marquez’s Danzón No. 2. Intriligator said this piece is usually deemed a concert-ender due to how wild it can get…. Soloist Charles Gorczynski [will] play three movements from a bandoneon concerto, Astor Piazzolla’s ‘Aconcagua.’… CSO will also feature Gorczynski in a lecture demonstration about the bandoneon on April 10 in the library … Daniela Guzmán Égüez … a soprano soloist from Ecuador [will] sing Heitor Villa-Lobos’ ‘Bachiana Brasilerias No. 5.’… The fourth piece is called ‘Latin American Dances’ by Mexican composer José Elizondo…. The night will end with four movements from … ‘Estancia’ by Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera.”
