Antonio Galera presents “Música y Letra,” an innovative program featuring works by Granados, Turina, and Piazzolla, among others, alongside readings of texts by Joaquín Sorolla, Rubén Darío, Gabriela Mistral, and more, many drawn from the archives of the Hispanic Society Library. Galera will be joined by Julia Choi (violin), Tommy Mesa (violoncello), and Enriqueta Somarriba (piano), and the readings will be performed by members of the Hispanic Society staff. Conceived as a contemporary salon, audience members are encouraged to actively participate in the program, joining the discussion and developing their own creative responses to the works. “Música y Letra” will take place on Thursday, November 20 at 6pm at the American Academy of Arts & Letters, located next to the Hispanic Society on Audubon Terrace.

Antonio will investigate fascinating anecdotes and highlight musical references found in the correspondence of the HSM&L collection, as well as in letters from other renowned Hispanic artists who traveled to New York City throughout its history. Among these figures are Joaquín Sorolla, Concha Piquer, Zenobia Camprubí, Juan Ramón Jiménez, Enrique Granados, María de Maeztu, Amparo&José Iturbi, Julio Camba, Federico García Lorca, María Lejárraga, Blasco Ibáñez, Rubén Darío, Marcelino Orbés, and many others.

Preludes & Homages: Erik Satie and Claude Debussy

Antonio Galera, piano

Simón Bolívar Amphitheatre, Mexico City

Preludes and Homages is a program presented by Spanish pianist Antonio Galera, inviting us to explore the music of three composers being honored in 2025: Erik Satie, Georges Bizet, and Maurice Ravel, along with other composers of their time. This program traces a journey from Chopin to Ravel, where preludes and pieces of poetic and pictorial character take shape. Antonio Galera’s recital also offers a rare opportunity to hear some of Bizet’s piano music live, with his fascination for gypsy motifs clearly reflected in this selection from Songs of the Rhine.
