The theme “Latin Spirits” for this recital underscores the power of music to connect cultures, voices, and experiences across borders. Featuring composers from Costa Rica, Mexico, and Argentina, the program explores diverse soundscapes and stories. Inspired by poet Cherríe Moraga’s words, “I am a woman with a foot in both worlds; and I refuse the split,” the recital honors those who navigate and unify worlds through art and music.
