The Voyager Ensemble Performs Rodríguez’ Rapsodia Riqueña

In the spirit of armchair travelers everywhere, the Voyager Ensemble explores a new country of the world every concert by combining standard repertoire from the country along with a contemporary work/commission by a composer from that region. Then musicians hailing from the same region join the ensemble with the aim of infusing the concert with cultural and musical flavors. Founded by violist David Yang and violinist Airi Yoshioka in 2016, the ensemble has featured music from Hungary, France, Argentina and this year, Finland. Voyager has given world premieres by Nicolas Bacri (France) and Fernando Altube (Argentina).

This February the ensemble will be exploring Puerto Rico and its music, featuring Rodríguez’ Rapsodia Riqueña.

The program will include:
Iván Enrique Rodríguez: Rapsodia Riqueña
Sonia Morales-Matos: Fiesta No.1
Johanny Navarro: Plenazo
Roberto Sierra: Memorias Tropicales
Rafael Hernández: Preciosa

The concert will take place at the Taller Puertorriqueño on February 9th, 2024 at 6:30pm.
