Parlando: Cowboy Nations

REVUELTAS – Ocho por Radio GINASTERA – Harp Concerto SCHULHOFF — Symphony No. 1 Parker Ramsay, harp How do you make a "people" around music? Cowboy Nations explores how three composers across three continents wrestled with and created identity, politics, and belonging through sound. From Mexico's Silvestre Revueltas to Argentina's Alberto Ginastera to Czechoslovakia's Erwin Schulhoff, these composers grappling with the 20th century's complicated legacy of nationalist music reveals as much about our own cultural moment as it does about theirs. Harpist Parker Ramsay joins Parlando for Ginastera's Harp Concerto in a program asking what the last century of identity-driven music can tell us about who music helps us become.
