Pro Musica Colorado Chamber Orchestra

Embark on a journey of Latin discovery as the Ars Nova Singers, Pro Musica Colorado Chamber Orchestra, and guest soloists present the Colorado premiere of 'Oceana' a mesmerizing cantata by the gifted Argentine composer Osvaldo Golijov.  Composed in the spirit of a Bach cantata, Golijov weaves orchestra, voices, guitars, exotic percussion, and the evocative poetry of Pablo Neruda into a sensual work that both dazzles and enchants.

"Gorgeous, irresistible, simultaneously ancient and wholly new." - The Boston Globe
"Fierce, blindingly beautiful." - Newsday (a 'Best of 2007' classical music selection)

One of "10 upcoming [arts] presentations worth considering [attending] this season." Denver Post   

Presented with rarely-performed works by Villa-Lobos and Radamés Gnattali (the 'Bernstein of Brazil') and infused with the virtuoso guitar of Jonathan Leathwood and gorgeous vocal talent of Maya Hoover, mezzo-soprano.  Add spice to your musical adventures with our festival of Latin music!
