Premiere

Premier 15th February 2020 with Alberto Rosado, piano and the Orquesta Filarmónica de la UNAM conducted by Massimo Quarta.  It was written for the Spanish pianist Alberto Rosado with whom I have had the pleasure of collaborating on other projects. My intention was to explore his virtuosic abilities and his wide range of expression.
