Cristina Altamura creates a fresh new look at the Spanish idiom.

Reflecting our ongoing fascination with Latin rhythms, she showcases the piano as the percussive instrument that it is.

Audiences will journey through the Spanish diaspora from Europe to the Islands to South America.

They will be immersed in a world of flamenco, tango and Afro-Cuban ritual sounds-music that evokes magical exoticism and mystery.

Program includes music by Granados, De Falla, Albeniz, Scarlatti, Ginastera, Piazzolla, Lopez-Gavilan, Torres.

Distinguished Latin percussionists accompany Ms. Altamura in selected cities.
