Erin Cluley Gallery hosts Jacaranda Guitar Ensemble for a program of classical Mexican guitar in conjunction with the gallery’s current MEXICO exhibition on Saturday, September 29, at 6:00 p.m. The hour-long concert is free and open to the public.
The Jacaranda Guitar Ensemble was formed in 2013 by longtime colleagues and principle ensemble members Carlo Pezzimenti, Leslie Enlow, and Pedro Haley, who bring over 50 years experience and mastery as classical guitarists. Like the wood, their group is named for (a Brazilian rosewood especially prized for guitars), this ensemble’s concert performances are highly regarded by aficionados of 20th and 21st-century classical music. Jacaranda particularly champions the work of the contemporary Mexican composer Ernesto Garcia de Leon. Other repertoire typically includes works by Albeniz, Brouwer, and Turina among others. Since their formation, Jacaranda has played to enthusiastic audiences in the United States and Europe in venues ranging from the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and the Museo de America in Madrid.
MEXICO at Erin Cluley Gallery presents photographic works, paintings, designs, and textiles where Mexico – by way of influence, location and artisans – is the common thread. The exhibit uses the current interest in the discourse on the future relationship between Mexico and America to explore how the two cultures have historically been inextricably related concerning art. Artists of different descents and practices showcase how the rich cultural heritage of Mexico and its long-standing relationship with America has influenced their lives and artistic expression.
