Known for the dynamism and precision of his conducting, Maestro Juanjo Mena will lead the OSM in a program showcasing the harp. Driven by the distinctive rhythms of Argentinian dances, Ginastera’s Harp Concerto (performed by OSM principal harpist Jennifer Swartz) harnesses all the expressive potential of this elegant-sounding instrument.  Debussy, meanwhile, gave full scope to his poetic imagination in the triptych Images, evoking, among others, the Spain of his imagination.

Pierné, Ramuntcho: ‘‘Overture’’ (8 min.)

Ginastera, Harp Concerto, op. 25 (25 min.)

Debussy*, Images, L. 122 (40 min.)

The 2023 PRISMS Contemporary Music Festival at Arizona State University presents: Re-Works. This year's festival features an exciting lineup of composers and performers who are exploring the many ways in which music can re-imagine, re-conceive and re-envision existing music, and the diversity that arises from those sonic conversations.

From the virtuosic Desahogo by Nicaragua’s Yader Ugarte to the cutting-edge sounds of ASU’s composition faculty, from the monumental Sur Incises by France’s Pierre Boulez to new works by emerging composers and electronic music for ambisonic dome, PRISMS explores the ways in which music can be used to express the unique perspectives of different cultures, and how the notion of Re-Work acts as a lens through which to understand these diverse musical traditions.

Sur Incises will be presented on November 18th in Katzin Concert Hall

Joint event with the students of Carla Fabris at the University of Arizona and members of S.O.P.H.I.A. (Saguaro-Old Pueblo Harpers in Arizona), the Tucson chapter of the American Harp Society!
