In the midst of a lot of heartbreak in the last few months I’ve been lucky to work with some amazing friends and colleagues on a project that has been slowly developing over the last two years. Zarabanda Variations is a collection of songs and dances inspired by histories and futures of New Spain, or present-day Mexico and the US. It has been an incredible source of imaginative respite for me, and an opportunity to learn from and collaborate with artists whose work is reframing the boundaries of the vernacular, experimental, and baroque in deeply resonant and timely ways. Thank you to the people and organizations who have given this project the life it’s had so far… I am so excited for the continuation and development of this work. @yellowbarnmusic @carnegiehillconcerts @frequency_festival_chicago_ @clarkart @runningamoc Voice: @mfloresbucio Flute: #WilfridoTerrazas Strings: #chrisotto @freyaviol @iva_cl @keir_gogwilt @kylemotl Guitar: @alecgoldfarb Percussion: @jonny_jonnyallen The trailer includes excerpts of compositions by @vicente.wav and @keir_gogwilt The program features poetry by @edgaresque Trailer by the one and only @birdfishrabbit
