Experience the music of rural South America

CITY OF ASYLUM @ ALPHABET CITY PRESENTS TIERRA ADENTRO In the Depths of the Land Thursday, October 10 @ 7:00 PM FREE! City of Asylum @ Alphabet City 40 W. North Avenue     This fall, City of Asylum is proud to present four concerts celebrating music from around the world. Our World Music Series opens with an evening of songs from different regions of rural South America, performed by internationally acclaimed artists Raquel Winnica Young and Dieter Hennings-Yeoman. This program features folk styles seldom heard in the U.S. including zambas, carnavalitos, cuecas and valses, and the chilena from Oaxaca, based on a Chilean rhythm. These songs feature poetry and lyrics by prominent 20th century South American and Mexican songwriters who were inspired by the life of the "unheard" people who live and work the fields of foreign and desolate lands.   Click Here for Free Tickets! Equally comfortable performing early music, new music and chamber music, Ms. Raquel Winnica Young's career has taken her to concert halls throughout the Americas and Europe. With Quantum Theater she performed in Maria de Buenos Aires, Ainadamar, The Winter's Tale and the world premier of Looking for Violeta, about the life of Chilean singer song-writer Violeta Parra.  Born in Córdoba, Argentina, Ms. Winnica Young holds a degree from the Instituto de Arte del Teatro Colon and an Artist Diploma from Duquesne University. She is Adjunct Faculty in Voice at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. The musical endeavors of Dieter Hennings Yeomans (Mexico) span from new music on guitar to early music for lute, baroque guitar, and theorbo. Mr. Hennings has been a soloist with Canada's New Music Concerts Ensemble, Orchestra of Lecce, Italy, The Riverside Symphony of NYC, Eastman BroadBand Ensemble, Julliard's 415 Early Music Ensemble, Guanajuato and Monterrey Symphony Orchestras, among many others.
